I don't think voting would be the best idea but rotating moderators in and out sounds good

[Meliva]

honestly, I think if someone does a good job as a mod, then it seems silly to rotate them out for folks who may do a worse job. I think a good idea may be for a few nominees to be picked, then let the community have the final say. I really like the idea of having mods picked by the community, the tricky part is figuring out a smart way to do it that won't backfire horribly.

Voting can end badly, a good example I can think of- I remember a rather funny story I heard about how a bunch of trolls voted in a kids contest, and it ended up with a green onion flavoured cereal

Perhaps we should have a “supreme moderator” who is in charge indefinitely

Fantasy draft is a perfect example......

If you want the community to be involved, hold a nomination process, but let current mods pick one or two.

[DezNutz]

As the mods are volunteers, why do we need to hold a nomination process or even a vote. You don't exactly see people jumping to volunteer for it. So with all these grand plans, who is going to fill in the roles. And those that do come forward, why haven't they asked or volunteered before. I recall a topic a while back that Mel posted looking for volunteers.

[Meliva]

There should be a place or thread where folks can go to see what they can do to volunteer for certain roles. At the moment, unless I make a post asking for volunteers, most people don't know they can message me and ask to be a mod and volunteer. As well as let folks know other roles and positions they can try to apply for. At the moment, hard to find that kind of info.

I thought that was tried with the Player Dev Team back at the beginning.

[Meliva]

not sure. I've had nothing to do with the player dev team for the most part, so don't know what they've done or tried for the most part.
