I think we need an age limit because even though you might think you are smart, I still believe a set age to be an admin. Say 15 at least and even then, let there be a vote between all the other admins.

Also, the other requirements should be contribution count. An admin needs to have commitment to the site, being able to contribute X amount of pages, say a dozen and they HAVE to be complete pages. So this also means the admin needs to be able to screencap and do them well. A good profile page the candidate needs to make, telling us about himself a little bit, experiences with firearms, and general information. A profile page is like a resume on this site and making the page builds character.

Someone asking for authority itself should be a red flag.

I might have asked to be an admin as well, but by that time, I had experience, and made contributions to the site

Not just a no but a Hell no.

I've been to his page and I've read his rants, He's no were even close to the level of maturity that I would desire for a mod. Hell I don't even think that he really understands what the purpose of this site is about.

A 12-13 years old boy being admin in the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base? No offense, but it gives the page a bad image.

If the kid knows how to screencap and does it well and has done many complete pages and won't abuse his powers, I might consider him

I will have to vote no. He's under fifteen, his rants strike me as the ravings of a young man and he's asking for the authority. No. Absolutely not. Anyway what type of moderator would he be if his father stops him from being on the site?
