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.

....or possibly like someone from Lord of the Rings, but anywho....I don't think so. It seems to me whoever chooses mods (Sorry, I don't know that *ducks*) has been doing a great job, and I don't think we (the users) should mess with that

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.

Bad idea
23 000 people, about a quarter of whom will probably be vocally playing favourites...

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.

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!

In a one word answer. No.

Horrible idea. This forum would turn into a campaign ground. That would detract from the true point of the forum. Darren and his crew have this covered. Trust in them.

Maybe if the mods said "OK, you have a choice between this member and this member, get voting" but otherwise, no!Jedi_Master_Bra'tac, previously known as wako!
