So, ideally, no - members are not required to spend more time here than they already do, only to use their time differently.

This is the choice many many people out there make when they request moderator positions. They know it is voluntary, but they have a vested interest in the good of the community and generally either just want to give back, help make it even better, or just.. be involved in something.

Further, many successful online communities are started by those who have moderating experience in the past, as they become familiar with the software used and community management as a whole.

Should anyone feel over burdened or lose interest, that is okay too, sometimes the moderator group can be rather fluid.. but over time a core group is usually built that stays around for the better for a while, since they are here anyway.

It is just a suggestion that please don't appoint any more mods in Gurgaon forumns and freeze any open positions. the ratio of mods to number of active users in GGN already seems very high to me.
thanks,
