After reading all of the posts in this thread, I would like to add my opinion about this.

First off, to point out the obvious, I am under 18, however almost everyone I know thinks I'm older than I really am. Also, I am not posting because I want to be a mod, I am posting because I feel that some people are automatically stereotyped because they are under 18. And for all of you that are insisting that children don't have enough time to moderate the game as they should, I believe you are completely incorrect. I am able to finish all of my homework, keep my grades up extremely well, and still play Transformice for a decent amount of time.

Okay, so, I feel that if a person (Whether they are 10, 20, 30 .. Any age) is indeed mature enough to act like they are 18 or over should be allowed to become a moderator. Perhaps if an extremely young kid acted like they were over 18, they shouldn't be allowed to be accepted as a mod. However, I feel that plenty of teenagers (mostly 15+) are mature enough to act like a moderator should. And for all of you saying people under 16 will just ban anyone because they want to, or a friend "told them to" are highly mistaken. Maybe some younger player would be tempted to ban anyone they don't like, but most teenagers should (and do) know better.

By the way, the whole "Likes good music = Mod/Likes bad music = Not mod" is obviously a terrible idea. Plenty of mods don't play music, and for those who do there is always a "/music" command.
