I believe that we should have the right to elect moderators for the Forum. Here's my proposal:

On a bimonthly basis, there shall be an election for a new moderator. There shall be one moderator of the people, along with the current moderators who shall keep their positions.

At the beginning of the election, each region shall choose a candidate nation that is nonbiased and has at least two hundred posts in the forum to prove it, allowing a conclusive analysis of their political and religious stances and preventing an extremist from having their hand on the "DEAT" key (That means nations like me and MKULTRA are automatically out). This will prevent censorship of the new mod's ideological opponents.

Once each region has chosen a candidate (the region must contain more than two nations to ensure a fair process), a topic shall be listed in the general forum listing off those candidates, their regions, and their stances on various issues. Candidates with a history of flamethrowing or heavy bias against either end of the political or religious spectrum will be rejected. There will be one week alotted for voters to inspect each candidate's post record. In the topic, voters may quote questionable posts made by candidates.

Afterward, there shall be an election of majority vote. After the winner is chosen and approved by the current moderators, they will be an official mod for two months, after which they will be re-elected or replaced in the next election.

This concludes my proposal for a democratically elected moderator. Thank you for your time.
