I want to be a NIN forum moderator. What should I put in my application?

The first thing is i wouldn't let the users know your asking on Yahoo Questions for tips on your application :p. although what i would do is if your already a well liked user in the forum (which is a large bonus of course) and if your friendly with all the mods currently there ask them on tips to getting the position and they may even help you out in the selection process
