the "rules" for becomming a moderator in anything but a small place are unwritten and pretty much universal.
Its important to be friendly to everyone (a person who is constantly bitching at regular members but being unbelivably nice to the moderators will get a reputation as a suck-up to everybody). Then its important to have a genuine interest in the topic of the forum you'd like to mod in (for instance, it'd be pointless to mod the MGS forum if you don't actually give a damn about the series) and an inclination for helping people (mod powers aren't just for fiddling with people posts!).
Then its important to be around often, and get noticed among everybody around you. Its also down to luck a little... I'm only moderator for the FF forum because Soul Angel doesn't get the oportunity to visit quite so much anymore...
Oh, and its important to eat your vegetables - especially carrots. The best Moderator is one who can see well in the dark and make decent choices about what is suitable and unsuitable in a forum.
