"The site is at a low point in activity now, if you gave up on a position used to gauge whether you should be mod at such a point, why should you be trusted with a higher position, now, under similar circumstances?"

If you're going to attempt to character assassinate me based on my admittedly bad performance as topical moderator, realize that I was tasked with doing a job that didn't exist. On the other hand, as a full moderator, I would actually have nontrivial responsibilities to attend to.

"You can only give user titles as an admin. But, it shows that it's something you've thought of doing."

No it doesn't. I thought of that because it's been done before, like with the Hall of Shame. You're right about mods not being able to give out usertitles, though. I had forgotten about that.
