If you were Warren G you could easily regulate the site which could be fun.

In front of the Whiskey Media offices there is a box. Inside of that box there is a map. At the end of that map there is a key. Take that key to the top of K2, the second tallest mountain in the world, and open the door you find just below the peak. Inside you will find a monk, and he will offer you something to drink. DO NOT DRINK IT.Instead, offer him an energy drink and some foreign candy and he will teach you the secret handshake. Take that handshake and shake the hands of President Obama (with your left) and Macho Man Randy Savage (with your right) at the same time. They will then tell you the password which you must speak to the king of the mods, and he will grant you but a fraction of his power.

The power and influence that comes with that red banner underneath your avatar is glorious. In a way, we all pine for it. 
 
Personally, I'd go mad with the power. For example, I'd probably just lock any thread that disagreed with my own opinion and be like "Fucking LOCKED bitches, Vince is out, PEACE!" then lock that shit down. Man, I'd love to rule the GB forums.

Sexual favors. I'd say ask Sweep, but he probably blocked out the memories.

Also in response to the OP: You remember how in the Lord of the Rings, Sauron forges those rings and hands them out to everybody? It's basically like that. Snide forges rings and hands them out to those he deems worthy. Without them, the mods are powerless.

Truth. Mods = Ringwraiths. Dave = Sauron. I thought all of this was obvious.

Does for filling the last point make all the others irrelevent?

Depends on the sexual favor and how good you are.
 
Let's just say that it's very hard to make the other points irrelevant.

@FunkSausage:  

 As a sincere answer:

New moderators are inducted after lengthy discussion by staff and existing moderators, but this happens very infrequently. Usually (ha!) the candidates are people who have become know through their commitment to the site and are consistently good humoured and with civil attitudes. Sometimes the staff will ask the community to put forward recommendations on the forums as a way of scouting for hidden talent. An unofficial rule is that anyone who put's themselves forward is doing themselves more harm than good.
  
I should also point out that just because you might have fucked up in the past doesn't mean you won't be considered if you can prove yourself a reformed, responsible member of the community. I like to think I am proof of that, if nothing else. 
 
So don't fret! There is still hope for you all :D
