As someone asked on the hive, I tell you:
Having a moderator rank means nothing if what you really want to do is help.
You can help as much as you want with our without having the staff position.
Meanwhile, Try helping by recording hackers and reporting every kind of abuse. You can always be of great help if you try helping moderators on the hub answering their questions. If you see someone breaking a rule, but you can't report them make sure to tell moderators about it so they take an eye on them. Always enforce the rules in-game and in forums. You can also be active on the forums showing The Hive you can be a great moderator.
Hoped this helps you and encourages you to show The Hive you could be a good moderator.
