Also there are about 120 posts in the voting thread, but there are about 9,000 new accounts created last month, there are about 9,500 full member accounts currently, so I don't think the vote is a representation of the community.
Even if everyone on the forum cast their vote and the right to vote was also granted to account farmers, shrills, trolls and just shit posters, this "election" still wouldn't make sense (very much like other such election, for that matter). How many people actually know the wannabe moderators to objectively and impartially evaluate their skills? And once the winner gets promoted to this position, how will we see the results of his moderation, many more users getting permanent bans?
Wtf, cattle choosing their slaughterman
The cattle seem to be grazing in the other sections of this forum.
In any case, the candidates are at present moderators in other sections. So the candidates satisfy the minimum eligibility criteria.
If so, why all this charade then? They could just agree between themselves who is to be presented to theymos as the most skillful and qualified pretender for a global moderator job. If they don't come to a consensus, they could just flip a coin, after all. Whoever becomes a new global moderator, he would without doubt more favor his proponents than opponents if it ever comes to taking a moderator decision regarding them. The data is all there, in the spreadsheet, signed and stamped...
Just in case, I didn't vote for anyone and have no spite against any of the candidates, lol
