Does anyone else think that we should be able to vote for someone to become a moderator, someone who can speak for the people and spread enlightenment to a place where there once was none.

Moderator elections are a bad idea. In the end, such things become a popularity contest and the winners could end up being people with little to no experience and have no idea what they are doing.
It's always best for the staff of a site to pick it's moderators, because then they can ask about what experience a person has, what skills and talents they have and more importantly, the staff would be picking someone suited rather than the most popular member on the site.

What a horrible idea. Degenerating modship into a popularity contest? Those who are the most popular aren't always the ones who are best suited for the job. I'd rather have someone who's unpopular but competent than someone whom everyone loves but who keeps screwing up.
Modship is about COMPETENCE, not popularity. The mods are the ones who best know what qualities are necessary in a good mod and I have no problem with them (and ultimately Darren) deciding who's in and who isn't.
Gateworld isn't a democracy and I don't think it should be.

No way. Ever ...
this place is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship ... but at least the dictator actually has some sense.
In other words i trust Darren and his crack team to make the decisions a heck of a lot more than i'd trust everyone else as a group. There are so many different groups of people around, and people are more likely to vote for the people they know than some stranger from a different section, rather than consider who'd actually do the best job.I'm not Weird, I'm Gifted!
