First of all, you need to apply on a thread, not comments, in order for admins to take your candidacy into consideration.

And second, you need to have chatmod rights before applying for other positions, this system was introduced in the Autumn Polls. It is Chatmod > Discussions Mod > Content Mod > Admin.

So, if you really want to apply you need to do it untim the thread is done.
