Not posting stupid crap we have to delete like you've been doing all day would be an excellent place to start. ;)

Look around at the moderators here.. They're not a bunch of wet behind the ears kids, who have never been to a track before.
Then look at the people who aren't moderators, who have been around here for years. These people are also not wet behind the ears kids who have never been to a track.
Pretty quickly you'll discover that there are decades of experience in the motorcycle industry here. And that Rich doesn't have to be sarcastic or a jerk, but it's just so much fun.
Lighten up, read more than you write and you'll fit in fine.
Otherwise, there are a lot of other dirtbike forums that will be more than willing to let you become a moderator after 9 posts.

What is there about the content of the site that looks like it requires your moderation?

We try to delete the spam and general stupidity. We move posts to the correct areas so that they can be discussed by folks with that specific interest or knowledge set. We gang up on the unruley inmates.
You get asked after showing you are somebody that fits the mold.

Just curious, have you guys ever had a "trash can" in which you put all the crappy threads that don't deserve/need to be here?
Or do you go with "they don't need to be here at all" mindset?
I am going with the latter.

OK, I'll throttle back a bit...At first I wasn't going to say a thing. But then the more cynical side of me leaked out, I couldn't help it. No offense,Patman said:

Okay- you guys know I can't stay away from kid advice threads. How long did you think I would last??
I think this is the worst advise I ever got as a kid.
If we are going to wax philosophical- how about the truth.
Work hard. Listen & watch more than you speak. Don't think you know everything. Ask questions humbly and receive answers humbly, but with an ounce of skepticism. Think for yourself, but be polite about it.
Keep your head down. Don't expect the world owes you anything. Be pleasantly surprised when things work out the way you want. Have gratitude. Have good morals. If someone tells you something can't be done, but you believe it can or at least want to convince your ownself, don't waste your time trying to convince those who said it can't. Start researching "how" it can be done and have at it with gusto. Work smart.
Work hard. It is worth repeating.
I think you can apply that to dirtbikes as well as anything else.
Oh, and above all else...have a sense of humor. A big one hearty laugh kind of one. It helps when you discover that no...not everything is possible for everyone. Life takes extreme patience at times.

I don't have a sense of humor. And I still haven't written my paragraph. I haven't gotten my cape yet either.
But I fight bears. I guess they needed that skill in the moderator corps.
