With all this talk about how much the MODS suck, who do you feel should NOT be a moderator? I'm going to list 9 names, then an "other" option, b/c there are more than 10 mods. I'll list the 9 most prevalent.

Not including Justin in this poll.

Also, these are multiple choice votes.

I voted LJ and wildcats wish I wouldve voted f4f. Only reason voted wildcats was his meltdown in the thread the other day.

I don't have the power to change, but it's noted.

I think LJ SHOULD be a moderator, but ONLY of the politics forum. Outside of the poli forum his powers should be nil. Like moving threads, infractions, negging, etc.

I liked Wildcats as a mod until that meltdown, and then I was like:

I voted for all of them. They are not good. FFT is the only good mod and he never posts anymore.

Wildcats should have a basement ban already based on the new rules, so he should definitely get the axe. He's a mod and can't follow the rules, gtfo!

It is time to get some new moderators. Half the mods don't even post anymore and the other half are incompetent.

Every other forum I've been on promotes new moderators to fill the need and demotes moderators who do a terrible job and/or are inactive. Now, why Justin thinks that picking arbitrary moderators and sticking with them is a good strategy; you'll have to ask him.

It's on topic with the thread - you cry about mods in every thread. And it's not the same as your thin skinned crying, he did the same things that myself and another poster got warnings for.

Then you just don't get it. Most of the things to which I was referring happened the same in the "New Rules Announcement" thread that got locked. I wasn't whining, but merely pointing out how, no matter what they say about enforcement, it is always going to be the same. They can say they are on the same page, but the moderation will be fickle at best. Justin even admitted that the infractions would not be fair.

You do realize we can adapt and adjust the way the rules are enforced and "punishment" is handed out? We are all on the same page as far as getting the site under control, of course there will be some differences on what we think is actually deserving of a warning or infraction. We're human, we're not robots.

Also, I am definitely up for using the community to HELP pick the next moderator. It wouldn't be something that I'd just let you guys put together, vote, and pick the next guy. But I would take nominations from everyone, narrow that list down myself, and then let you guys vote and take the top 1 or 2 vote getters as mods.

He did the same thing as you and you want him banned? When all you got was a warning (and not even an official warning, just a PM saying knock it off)?
