In the requirement to become Volunteer Moderator it has been mentioned, there should be an MVP, Moderator for TechNet or MSDN or nominated by Microsoft Employees.
May I request to add another requirement like if you are an active moderator in other Microsoft forums like Microsoft Answer , then you will be qualify to become a moderator here. The moderation would be the same and just they are different forums with different expertise.
It would be nice to have some sort of collaboration with Microsoft Answers forum to see if there is any moderator there and wanted to become a moderator here too.
