As far as Indian board is concerned, Every reporter is a moderator and every quality poster is a merit source. We don't need to depend on theymos for appointing someone separately to do the task. since its not really easier to appoint someone who is trustworthy to do the job effectively.
TBH, there isn't much really happening on the Indian Board as compared to Russian/Indonesian/other boards. The ideology that 'every reporter is a moderator' will only work if other Mods/Global Mods have to handle a limited number of posts from a different section. If there are thousands of posts being reported on a daily basis it will be much harder for other mods to handle them especially if they're in a language that they do not understand.
