Since I don't know what board you're referring to, they may be looking for someone who "thinks" like them and those they perceive as one who will not go against them.

In one board, I'm surprised there are members whose majority post counts are HUGS, THANKS and WAY TO GO! made into moderators in such a short time If those are the kind of people they want to be mods, do you think you'd like to be one of them? :shrug7:
