You really don't want the extra work involved with pundits or moderators if you are not really committed. There is no pay and it's pretty much volunteer status. Not to mention they want you to scan your id and send it to them. And who really knows where that is going. Not a real big deal, but I don't like to send my id over the internet for nothing.

I was employed by a hosting company of relative size and very popular common name in a google search that required such info and scans. I had full see more root access to all the servers, billing system, support ticket system you name it, but I did get paid for it. So there was a bit of incentive to provide that kind of info. So far what you see here is like you mentioned somewhere for politics or gain of some kind. I am not about that and am not about to jump into it for self gain.

To do it for fun and a title of moderator or pundit, etc. is much different.

I would still consider this myself and yourself but it is certainly something to really think about before jumping into it.
