Oh, wait...I was a mod on a rather large site before (although not nearly as large as this one). The admins there modded me to force me to chill out, knowing that, if I had a responsibility to the site, I'd take it seriously. Otherwise, I'd continue posting weird shite and snippy one-liners. ;)

Of the currently active Mods, one in four are female, which is roughly in proportion to the number of female players.

We have a reasonable split across the US and EU timezones.

We have always had a decent split between the liberal and conservative camps, although those who view that whole childish culture war with derision are definitely in the majority.

I really don't see how we could be more inclusive, barring the appointment of a token scientologist.

I didn't vote in this poll. Polls are always stupid. The fatuous option always wins.

IF mods were elected by the posters,

IF noobs and trolls were eligible to be elected mods, and

IF I were elected mod

I would implement "write-in polls." Options could be added to the poll, and stupid options redacted. Polls would become two dimensional, showing not just the totals for each option, but the totals over time ... making it plain that an early preference for "panacea" indicated not so much a disdain of "pincushion" and "pistachio" as a one-eyed failure to include "punchinello" in the original poll.

Yuo know it makes sense. Also, wouldn't it be cool if mods just left for no reason, and never came back. Gimme your vote. :)

I would've preferred the reply "Don't know, Don't care."

I honestly don't who each mod worships, IF they do have a religion.

id need a list of those who would be willing to take the job. then i would have an opinion of who should have it.

the thing is, unless you fully agree with the rules here and are quite willing to enforce those rules fairly and consistently, you shouldnt be mod. it would just grate on your nerves to have to deat someone for something you disagree with. or it would bug you to no end to be disallowed from warning someone for something that really isnt against the rules but you hate.

the current mods do a pretty good job fairly enforcing the rules as they exist. (consistent is harder since they do have times when they arent here). id hate to see some like lunatic goofballs be forced to monitor himself and his reaction to posts because he was a mod. as to some others mentioned above, how can someone be mod if they cant follow the rules as a regular member?
