What our d2 section should look like.

Prove your worth and you'll be considered. The FAQ states:

Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.

The D3 forum "mod-ship" is free game at the moment, and will be until it comes out. When it is released, then if the forum needs a mod he who is most helpful and knowledgeable will be chosen. Staff positions aren't given out to whoever asks first.
