To the Head Jacksters:
Could you put up a slate of say 20 nominees, and let us elect our own moderators?

Doubtful. There are some neon flaws in that method. Those who wish to be Moderators can let me or Jen know and if an opening exists posters can at least know they are considered in the current process. We can create an updated poster list if you or anyone would like to be considered.

I don't want to be a moderator, I want to get rid of certain moderators and replace them with rational beings like Phil Fish.

And what the Hell is a "neon flaw".
If the Head Jacksters nominated them, what would be the problem anyway?

A flaw is a flaw but neon is:

I disagree, Min and Jen are doing just fine, I may snicker at the advertisers, but it looks like some revenue is being generated now for this site
Let them do what they are supposed to do, after all, it's the clicks green, not the mods,
You click, advertisers listen

I have no problem at all with the MODS on both sides. I do not post anything I shouldn't and the MODS do not bother me.
I am pleased the site is getting ads. A huge heads up to the owners. They have worked hard to keep the site going. And the MODS have a hard job. Applause to them too.

I have no problem with any of them. As I said I post to the rules, they leave me alone Works for me..
And,I do not think this place is a Democracy, Dave, Chris and Jon own the site. What they say goes.
We can abide by their rules or move on.

Personally, I think the rule for moderators should be that they moderate and are not allowed to join in the conversation other than as non-partisan, unbiased arbiters enforcing the rules - chastising and/or applauding others' activity if/when applicable.
I don't think it is appropriate for moderators to act in the capacity of general users of the forum. That's not the point of having moderators.

BTW, folks, over on "another political" blog, there is a "certain poster" who DESPERATELY tried to convince his new blog to name him a Moderator.....right after I was named one here.
The obsession continues....

You'd never get anybody to Moderate, then, HA. Without paying them.

There really isn't anybody moderating now, is there?
As soon as the unbiased and disinterested 3rd party status of a moderator is gone, they're not doing the job they've been asked and agreed to do.

HA, why would someone agree to come to a political blog...never participate in it...but merely Moderate other posters' posts.....without pay or compensation? Not exactly FUN...I can tell you.
