Well said, just to add my thought, it seems local moderators are been considered gods on those boards especially those who interact actively. Theymos will have to up his game in regards to the criteria to avoid any sort of issue relating to intimidation, favoritism or extortion been practice by any new moderator he appoints.

It seems kinda hard to pointing out individuals willing to volunteer time for the success of the forum these days unlike previously, as majority of the new users are highly been motivated by earning while lacking passion for the progressive success of the forum like back in the early days.
