Default Moderator annual election seems good idea to me

Occasionally there are disagreements with moderators on here- whilst I understand not everyone will get on with each other- why don't we have an annual mod / regional director election? Just a thought but would be good I think?

Nice idea in theory, but, in reality, not many people have either the time, knowledge, experience, or temperament to be a good moderator...

Can you imagine me as a MOD? lol.. I would be sending out sympathy cards to all 1.8 owners and giving directions to specsavers to the faceache owners. lmho

Please do not damage the illusion that we have a say about how things are done by suggesting ideas that test this widely held supposition...remember this is a limited company..

I believe the mods do an almost thankless job. After just over a year on here I've sought and been given advice by present mods, always by return, always sound. I have also borne in mind the sheer weight of numbers of members the mods have to deal with, let alone the tech experience needed. So what if, rarely, there seems to be areas where members might not necessarily agree with 'decisions made on their behalf'. They are 'Moderators' and by definition they will moderate, not arbitrate.
If anyone feels unfairly treated there are more senior levels to explore to reach a settlement. How democratic do we want it to be? If it aint broke......

All good election campaigns need a theme song. This is my suggestion.

You can even watch this video with the sound muted.

It doesn't matter WHO is a moderator, because a mod is a mod. Basically, you'll end up back where you are wouldn't you, so what's the point
