Look at the proposed new mod suggestions draw your own conclusions.

I guess you are referring to the poll originated here: User nominated names of possible moderators for forum and eventually voted here: Vote for new moderators who deserve it. @theymos please take a look..

The names on the (short) list were added not by self-nomination, but through the suggestion of other forum members on the first thread. Not that it was really going to serve seriously as a shortlist pool to draw moderators from, but it was one of the hundreds of proposals created on Meta that serve the purpose of creating a little brain storming around an idea.

If I recall correctly, some of the people clear stated that they had no real intent to become moderators at all. Whats more, merits I doubt count in any way towards the possibility of becoming a moderator. It would rather be a good report count, a perceived knowledge of the area to be moderated, and a certain fairness of judgement, aside from a willingness to perform a task which I doubt is a very grateful and personally rewarding one.

That's a load off then.

So none of those want to be mods and were just pushed forward by others and will refuse such a position.

No doubt about it that a certain fairness could be a good thing to have in that position.
