I wish to answer if I may,
I think it is based on affinity and the will to serve,
Affinity in the sense that such a place is where you could find solace, fun
and ideas, keep oneself having a place for a companion when it is needed the most.
Will to serve is to try to uplift this companion that one thinks already became a part
of his/her day to day living.
But of course to be a moderator is something that is awarded, not asked
I think a bestowment to those who has the capabilities to carry out the task,
for being a moderator is not a privilege, but it calls for responsibility.
