On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Do it like the Athenians. Random lottery with strict term limits of 1-2 months. All mods will eventually become bad, make a terrible decision, and then get their skeletons dumped out by people looking to avenge the terrible decision. Except for the coupons guy whose modded that place forever. Term limits are the only way to prevent that.

I think you're a wonderful poster and it was a good joke but i am beholden to post with a sentiment decided by the rng in this thread as a demonstration of why d100-based modding is superior to anything corruptible by personal thought or opinion. Please don't take it personally!

This is a compelling idea. I think you could go places with it, depending on how you acted once you were dictator - do you have any specific plans?

yes, but we have a subforums-based.electoral college where each subforum and its subs act as individual districts for that subforum. subs vote for their own mods but admins have to win a majority of the subs

so basically GBS, D&D and Games are going to dictate who does what, those are the biggest subs right

This isn't a bad idea if it is well thought out. Closing a forum needs a vote. Several have been closed that I thought were really funny and miss.

I think probating should be more transparent, and maybe a way for enough users to be able to request probations? Just seems like the last couple forums drama a lot of people said the mods were acting too slow, so I wonder if there's a solution to that.


OR maybe we should treat modding like japan treats cleaning? like everyone eventually has to take a shift and do mod duties.

robot mods?
