If this seems to be important enough, then maybe a mod (who can’t be ignored) can start a new thread with a more robust poll, but for now I want to get a sense of the forum and whether this is an avenue worth going down.
On the one hand, we have some people who think we need new mods. On the other hand, we have current mods who maybe are willing to give up their role, but who think we need to establish some new rules concerning mods or else any new mods we select are just going to face the same problems.
I’m a critic of the idea of trying to accomplish too much at the same time. I thought that the attempt to craft forum rules was hurt by an attempt to discuss all of the rules at the same time, instead of sequentially. I think that if we seek to establish a new moderation regime, it’s better to split up the process of doing so. Either we pick new moderators first, then have a discussion about changing the rules for how we select mods and their powers and responsibilities under their watch, or we figure out those rules first, then pick new mods in light of whatever changes we agree upon.
- Select new mods, then figure out the rules
- Figure out the rules, then select new mods (if necessary)
- Select new mods, no need for new rules
- No need for new mods or new rules
