Actually I didn't read them either and I guess I missed the part where they were going to make me a moderator
. What really happened is after I made my first post asking about a few things, I started helping other people and didn't followup all that much on my first post. About 3 months latter when they made me a moderator, I had to learn the TOS in the finest detail as well as going through the announcements and policies. In addition, there is additional information in the moderator area so I was on information overload for a few days.
