There are actually very few mods and vets ..... and a LOT of bros that are probably very deserving of recognition. My advice would be not to be overly concerned about your label ... just be concerned about the quality of your posts. The rest will take care of itself.
couldn't have said it better myself. I could care less if my name is green, purple or blue...as long as i give sound advice, and I help at least one person make a correct decision, that is all i need. And i know i have personally helped many here, so newbie, mod, or vet alike... Post count or title means nothing!
