Just a hunch but I don't think playing dumb is going to help on this occasion.

At the very least you should accept that you've given a lot of disparate people the impression, correct or not, that you're trying to become a URCM moderator, and act accordingly (which means NOT playing dumb as it has gone beyond that stage). As I say, just a simple statement that that you have no interest in being a moderator would satisfy many I'm sure. Strange how it hasn't appeared. Every time you miss an opportunity to make such a statement, people become more suspicious, and justifiably so.
