Respect is like anything, its something that is earned by you from your peers. As to becoming a Moderator, well Martin makes that decision so its by invite only. But having a title doesnt mean anything, its all about who you are as a person, how you treat people and the way you live your life. Without those qualities, titles mean nothing. As for the RMC world specifically, my advise is just learn as much as you can and dont be afraid to ask questions or admit when you dont know something. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum, some guys here have followed the brand for many years and really know their onions LOL. But everyday I learn new stuff as the brand grows and develops ( I'm a relative newcomer having only known the brand for about 1 1/2 years myself). Always remember you create your own Legacy, nobody else can ever do it for you
