>Does that happen often?
No, it doesn't happen often. I know that I asked without being approached, and jbennet made his preference very clear, which was a deciding factor in his consideration. I can't think of any others at the moment.
>I thought people were asked if they wanted to.
Becoming a moderator is by invitation only, but if you want the job it doesn't hurt to make yourself known to us. Otherwise I use nominations by trusted people, or I search for members that meet certain criteria and do a full background check from their Daniweb history.
>so we'll just have to believe that Narue asked for the position
Believe it, because I did. And it started quite the heated debate about whether I was suitable. Quite a good read, actually. I recommend it to anyone who gets access to the mod forum.

I'm a programmer. My attitude starts with arrogance, holds steady at condescension, and ends with hostility. Get used to it.

I think you are perfect for the job.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

Well, time has proven that at least the right people in high places agree with you, or I wouldn't be where I am today.

I think that Narue, and in fact all of the moderators do a great job. Especially Peter_budo he is always adding code tags to newbie posts. Nice work !
If you have a quality, be proud of it and let it define you. Add it to the world!

Depends on the forum you post on. Ancient Dragon and Narue do excellent job on the C++ one.

I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

The best moderators are the ones who are so subtle you never see them working. If I get noticed doing my mod/super mod duties, it means I was too heavy handed about it.

Not necessarily, one can always see the "last edited by Narue/Ancient Dragon, Reason:Added code tags" text. I see that too often.
