Can I be made a joint moderator of I Love Cricket?

Hello powers. The other day I was permabanned from a cricket messageboard I'd been a member of for over three years, the final offence being to jokingly call someone (who was basically trolling) an "imbecile".

Now, as you can probably tell, the moderation team there are not quite on an ILX-esque wavelength. In fact, they number some of the driest cunts I've ever encountered online, people who haven't mastered the first thing in Internet discourse, who can't pick up the notion of humour, and who don't realise that it is just a fucking messageboard they're running. All my spats have come as the result of me calling someone out for being a muppet, or from playful humour "gone wrong".

Obviously this is shit, because I've successfully kept my cricket and musical manias well separate thus far, having as I say two distinct repositories in which to exercise my interest. Necessity now forces them together.

BUT.

I have a vision, a vision for a cricket messageboard created in my own ideal image.

A messageboard full of happiness and genuine cricket discussion, ALONGSIDE jokes, zings, surreal streams-of-consciousness, jhoshea vlogs etc.

A messageboard where anything goes, in the spirit of free speech and expression.

A messageboard where we may all love cricket unimpeded.

I don't want to wrest total control from jho, assuming he still has plans for ILC, but there hasn't been much action there at all recently and as I say my banning has given me the perfect opportunity to make a genuine cricket messageboard out of this slightly neglected little corner of ILX.

Please consider my suit!

I was going to make a "oh and I suppose we should just hand Nick Leeson the keys to the Singapore office while we're at it" zing but then remembered we already let jhosh mod the place, so I can hardly argue

the fragmentation and cross-borad drift in nu-nu-nu-ILX has meant lack of LJ bannings, also i figure i might be less annoying this time around altho those rooting for the first asian president of america might disagree

p.s. :D :D :D :D

why do you need to be a mod in order to make it into a cricket board? couldn't you just post cricket related stuff?
