Do you think that there should be a poll for people to vote of people to become moderators. The people that could vote would be people with 6000 points or above. To keep away hackers and spammers.

Why would we ban people asking questions? We aren't nazis...

If we abused our powers ONCE they would be taken away. The reason that the people that are mods, are mods is because they wouldn't abuse that.

I'd like to hold a mod poll just to see who the community recommends and why. Then we can see how the community thinks in comparison to the mods and admins in terms of what they look for in leaders.

Haha, that would be interesting even though I know what the outcome might be.

People in general are horrible at choosing their own 'leaders.' I mean, look at what has been going on for the past 8 years. Bush-mania. And I bet some people would still vote for him again if he could run for another term.

I think that there will be a chance of to many hackers on it that there will be to many votes at once and friends will just vote for friends. I think they should stay with handpicking moderators.

@Devoidless, I don't really think alot of people would vote for Bush at all. I am sure that you know that his approval ratings are WAY low, so I don't think that Bush could be the victor.

To add to this debate, IT would NOT be a good idea to vote for moderators, this could add alot of problems, not to mention it would be a shear popularity contest!!! I mean people would nominate themselves, people would advertise themselves on the community to gain popularity, which, ironically, would be considered spam. Personally, I would love more than anything to be mod on this site, but you also have to take into account how much time is spent on armor, how many times you break the rules... blah blah blah, you get my drift, right? It would be extremely unreasonable to vote for mods, maybe bring a great member of the community to the attention of mods and the admins, but other than that it would not be a good idea.

I think that a vote for mods is a good idea, but i think it needs to be a little more structured.
I think that the mods can nominate maybe 3-5 players and the community can nominate one when the need comes for a new moderator. Then after the nominees have been chosen then the moderators will vote on who should be it. I think something along those lines would work well if this post does change anything.
