Anything you can truly to to help this place grow, you can do as a regular old joe. You don't have to be a moderator to start album clubs, or come up with event ideas, or write some awesome threads, or make the site welcome to new members, or write provocative posts, or anything else that improves the community. Being a moderator is more of a maintenance job than anything else. The only significant difference between a moderator and a user is that you can delete posts and threads and give warnings to people.
Sometimes it feels like you've got to be a moderator to get people to listen to your ideas, or inspire them to participate in your threads, but that doesn't come to you with a blue name. I had my fair share of worthless dud threads and ideas, as well as some fun ones. Good ideas will out themselves, regardless of who has them.
If you want to help improve the community, that doesn't start with a blue name. That starts with you having an idea and donating your energy to making it happen. If you want to work for the community and for one another, start now. There's nothing stopping you! If you want to have a blue name so people will listen to you, so you can be desired by people, so you can feel like the foundation of Music Banter, then you're not in it for the right reasons, because you can cultivate those qualities in yourself just the way you are.
