I have literally asked before and have volunteered my time, I ocassionally see material when it pops up that is generally what someone would delete. I came to the conclusion that I could just help the overall site in other ways, however there was no lack of trying from people who wanted to be moderators, especially when the site came back up. (Mind you they would have to be vetted, yes).

I joined the steam chat and am listed under CenobiteGuro, to which you may add me so I can report things and have them removed quicker. I've been around quite some time and helped the site in a few ways, I'd be willing to help you out, probably not as a mod though.
