I don't know if you're joking about Rel, but I agree with that statement. I haven't liked his moderation at all.

This is an interesting proposal that unfortunately just won't work.

I mean, let's say this got put in place and ten people ended up seriously running for moderator. Of those ten, I'd have probably seen postings by maybe 7 (the other three tending to hang in fora I don't visit), had discussions with maybe 3 or 4, arguments with another 1 or 2...and actually *met* 0.

Voting would be an exercise in random-guess for me.

Now if we were all gaming and discussing in a physical location and had the chance to meet each other (I'm old-fashioned, in that "meeting" someone implies being in their physical presence) and get to know the candidates personally, I'd be all for this in a heartbeat!

This won't be implemented here. We disagree with your assessment of risks versus rewards; the downside potential is far greater than any upside gain, and we have a philosophical objection to other folks using this site as a proving ground for their thought experiments. If you start an online community that does use this philosophy, though, I'll be very interested to follow how it works.

Sorry to be blunt, RR. I know this is something that's important to you.

No, don't worry about me. I got that sense from the first moderator post. That doesn't mean that discussing it and finding good ways to improve the idea can't be productive.
