I doubt anyone was ever happy that they became a moderator.  Be careful what you wish for.

I don't think anyone is forcing them to become one or put in the work. I wonder how many if any have turned down the opportunity when asked?

I wouldn't be surprised if people have turned down the opportunity. Moderators get a lot of hate and it can be a very stressful job, especially when you're dealing with a large community.

Yeah, I guess, but if you're on the forum a lot and can be bothered reporting posts then going one step further and being able to moderate them directly isn't much of a bigger task.

Nah, I think there's a much bigger difference. Reporting threads lets you sit behind while the mods decide whether the reports are accurate, et cetera. Stepping up to mod, you have to be taught so that your accuracy becomes high enough so that people aren't complaining constantly about abuse.

But if you've been asked to be a moderator then I'm assuming you've being doing something right. I think over time your accuracy should improve by itself; if it hasn't then you're obviously not learning very swiftly, and if you've been here a while and reporting threads then you should be aware of the rules and what to report etc. I got a couple of bad reports early on for reporting obvious scams but got bad reports for them - I obviously now know not to report them.

Would u mind to explain the bold section ? I think scams can be reported against. A couple of days back there was a post in Bitcoin discussion from a scammer named Selena. She tried people to download a software full of viruses claiming it will take a normal PC to a huge hash rate (sorry, I cant recall the exact figure). She was reported against and eventually deleted. So, I think scams can be reported against.

Reporting someone sharing malicious software or posting in the wrong forum is fine and ok and will get you a good report, but reporting a user just because he's trying to scam you in some other way shouldn't be reported to the mods and is likely to get you a bad one.
