And Mist has left. no expression

Alpha Centauri
I was going to say Irene as she was a good mod, but she's also a friend and enjoys her time here, so I wouldn't wish modship on her.

Mist would probably be a decent mod in terms of doing the job fairly, but again, he also enjoys time here without having to deal with mod rules.

So I'm offering my vote to whoever is silly enough to want it.

You won't have any "power", because you won't be a global. Regular modship is about as significant as the retarded kid at school being the milk monitor.

AC would make a nice mod for the music forum, he'd probably start by closing all threads about bands who claim to be "emo".

Alpha Centauri
He couldn't ban unless he was a global, and since there's probably not a high chance of that happening, him being a mod is even more pointless.

If the mods don't think any of these threads warrant closing as it is, why do they need another mod?

Seriously Enough, I've been a Mob on other forums and I act a lot different when I am one. It changes everything. I usually post less and most of my posts are Nice/Happy so I don't get removed. I also get rid of people who break the rules, and not people I just want gone.

It already has enough people to do that, and do it sufficiently.

Also, you couldn't "get" people to stop fighting over stupid matters any more than the globals who mod this forum too, less so infact, because fair or not, they can actually ban members.

srug Does it really matter?

With a Mod, they still have a higher opinion then regular members. If two people are bashing each other and no global is on, I've seen regular Mod's come in and break it up. It happens.

You said it, not me. I was just pointing out the flaws.

They don't have a higher opinion, they just have the means to override opinion, which can lead to wrong decisions, especially if mods are partial, but been there, discussed that.
