Question: I'm a pretty avid user of SU. However, I spend most of my time there rather than here in the meta discussions.

I would be very willing and happy to become a moderator there to help even more, but I feel that lack of 'meta activity' would hinder that chance.

This isn't a cry for me to become a moderator, but just a general question as to how one can be 'noticed' if they aren't heavy meta users?

Answer: 
Use what abilities you have. Right now you can vote to close/reopen, edit, and retag. Do those things effectively and people will start to notice. You can also flag things for moderator attention to get noticed by the current mods.

**Note:** Do these things poorly and you'll naturally be shooting yourself in the foot.

You'll also want to keep asking/answering questions to get your rep up to the 10k level so you can start using *those* tools.

Basically, just be as generally helpful on SU as possible.
I hear that Jeff likes waffles.. Figure out his address and send him some waffles. Bribing is **always** the way to go
