If you truly want to dedicate hours of your free time to helping the Minecraft Forums moderating team, then you will have to be patient.
In my opinion, despite the wait not being intentional, the wait for becoming a moderator is the perfect test to see if people only want to abuse their power instead of helping the forums.
On top of that, if you're passionate about being a moderator and helping out, you're not going to care if you're even in the current batch. You're just going to wait and be patient.
Even if you feel like your past posts and history on these forums have been a bad time, that doesn't mean you can't change. If you contribute to the forums greatly and do show change, you're a prime candidate for the moderator position Keep that in mind.
Wow, very nice paragraph! Thank you I just, wow, im going to continue chasing my dream to become a moderator and still get on the forums Thank so much!

Well, I'm glad that you've decided to stay, and yeah if you contribute greatly to the forums and community then there's no stopping you from becoming a moderator.

On top of that, if you are passionate about helping people you shouldn't care about the "title". You can help people and the forums by reporting content that violates the rules, helping confused members etc.
The title Mod is just to show that you are good enough to be recognized.

I disagree entirely. There have been plenty of people on past forums I've been on that were not moderators, but were some of the most helpful members, and they were well known amongst the community. You do not have to have a title to be recognized as someone who contributes to the community.

You misunderstood my meaning. I am saying that you can be the most helpful member and were well known and did not have the title. but you can also have the title to stand out even more.

The title makes you stand out in the sense you're a staff member, not that you're helpful to the community. Again, I've even seen it recently; someone who isn't staff can be more well known than a staff member because of how active and helpful they are within the community. You're trying to go off that the "moderator" title makes you well known/famous in the community. This isn't accurate in the slightest. Maybe on some forums that have people who are brand new to forums and think a staff position is high and mighty.
The reality is that moderators are no different than us non staff members. They have some extra powers that are used to help keep the forum clean, and have colorful names, that's it. They are not special, nor are they are better than the community.
(No offense to the mods for saying you're not special. You all are in your own way. :P)

Reputation in the community makes you stand out more than just a title.

Im quitting the forums and also have 3 infractions so I basically have a 0% Chance of becoming staff. Is there a way I can delete my application? Am I in the current batch? If I am then ill just wait for a response. But is there a way to delete it?
Life on the Minecraft Forums isn't all about becoming a staff member. It is more about sharing and discussing ideas with an awesome community.
Unless you're asking a legitimate question or answering one, please keep general chatter out of this topic. This is strictly meant for questions only (although it is so rare that we get a legit question asked in this topic).
[Hopefully a legitimate question] (And I hope I haven't missed a post in which someone has already asked this question)
But when an application is submitted, which member of staff actually confirms the said application? Do all staff members get to post an opinion? Is it a majority vote?
Thanks.
The forum admins does the yes/no choice, moderators only give their opinion.
