Why is this thread still here?

Shouldn't it be closed on account of absolute "NO WAY IN HELL!"?

If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. - William Tecumseh Sherman on being pressed to be the Republican candidate for President of the US in 1884.

In other words - Are you NUTS? I come here to play and have fun. I don't want to have to referee everyone's squabbles.

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.

lol, I was going to say that I would like you to be a mod, but then I read your post. I still think that you would be a great mod, but if you disagree with elections, it would kind of be pointless for me to propose you.

Personally, I can think of a lot of people here that have been fairly unbiased, and seem to contribute in every post, but SaberBlade is the only one off the top of my head that also has a fairly high post count, reputation, and is a longtime member.

I can't see Darren ever take on a new mod based on an election. But if you guys are having fun with this, we're not about to stop you

As always my vote is for Wormhole Xtreme.

It's only fun until someone starts tearing apart a "nominee" (or self-nominee, as is often the egomaniacal case) and listing off why he'd be a horrible mod and how he'd destroy the integrity of the entire board.

That's why we have the noodles of doom (Sky occasionally shares ) so we can glue everyone into line

So people can go wild about how someone would make a great mod, but we can't retaliate with why that someone would be a horrible mod? Not very fair.
