I don't think new mods need to be found to replace everyone that leaves or are removed, but Rickbig was made a Global a few months back and he probably covers both their workload as he's very active in moderating. As I've been saying for years though, workload should be distributed around better. There's been no dedicated mod of big boards like Bitcoin Discussion for years and that certainly could do with it's own one. The alt coin section is getting swamped now and mprep was always overloaded as it's a huge board, but now that section is getting worse since he become a Global and doesn't have enough time to dedicate to it.

Because of this, I can only conclude that the needs of having more mods in this forum is a must thing to do. I have seen a lot of good members in this forum who are not biased. Why not make them a mod?
By the way they are acting towards this forum. We can easily say that they will surely not reject the offer?
What is actually making them not to be on that position?

I don't have the power to promote people to mods. All I can do is make suggestions when I think there are gaps that need filling.

I am thinking, if there is inadequate distribution of workload which seems to be the case, how about running a poll to vote for new staff members?

I don't think polls are the way to go and are incredibly biased. People should be made staff on the willingness to report accurately and there are probably several good candidates who have thousands of reports between them.

Thanks for explaining this. I see now that it is not more global mods that are required but mods need to be assigned to some of the more spam inflicted boards that only either yourself or mprep can currently deal with.

Either/or would work, but delegating workload by sub board would probably be more efficient than just promoting more Globals as you just get swamped. The boards that don't have any mod or just a Global should be allocated one at least, especially the huge/most popular boards.
