This is exactly why you shouldn't be a mod. People who want power make for the worst mods.
Your contribution is discussing things with the rest of us. That's what makes a community work.
Trust me, I would not abuse my power if I had it, considering most people who are mods on forums are younger than I am it makes me feel a bit insecure or something
Believe me, age matters not. I know an admin on a forum I used to frequent that is close to 40s and he let power get to his head. He started making up ******** rules and ignoring requests for rule changes but had the audacity to claim he was getting more lenient.
Also, being a mod is a thankless job and probably more trouble than its worth on more popular forums. Like what has been said already, if you contribute to threads then you are still doing your bit.
