I was wondering if I could suggest us having an annual moderator election? Anybody who has been on the forum over a year can be nominated, and we have stages of voting until it is down to 5 or 6 members. The mods would have full power to deny anyone from the election though, as in if they do not trust a certain member who has been voted for, they can be taken off the ballet. It would go to a poll, and then the member with the most votes would become the next moderator. Obviously there might not be a need for more moderators, and no body would be forced into becoming a moderator if they do not want the responsibility. Please do not think I'm trying to BS my way into becoming a mod, because I wouldn't qualify. I just had this idea and wanted to suggest it.

To be honest, I think we already have a superb team of mods, who are fair and just, and the number of them is about right....do we really need any more???

Nick, what advantages could an election possibly possess? I think if anything, mods in different time zones should be the thing to push for, so we are moderated basically, 24/7.
i think a moderator should be someone who has earnt the right in the admins/other mods eyes... i dont think its very fair or reliable to get a position as high as a moderator from being a year old user or 'winning' the position.

So you do not support democracy just an observation. The PM or President of the UK and USA is voted in for a reason as teh people want them in for a reason same applys everywhere.

As a point of information, neither the US nor the UK are democracies.
