I don't think the mods job is to help you grow - if they do that is great! But i think their role is to enforce forum rules and answer or address any forum issues. And to make sure the site runs smoothly both people-wise and technical-wise. And considering how fast the site has grown, the amount of simultaneous users, the number of posts combined with how few mods there are - to be honest, I'm not sure how the mods keep up with everything.
it is a dirty, thankless, aggravating job with few if any perks (unless you abuse your powers and then it is fun but not very long-lasting).
I would like to see mods from all over the world and both sexes - not because of any time delays or area/sex-specific advice but to alleviate the work load for the current mods and also to introduce some new thoughts and cultures into the community.
Just my two cents from a former (NOT RIU) mod
