Leo's name always comes up. But it's always killed on the brainstorming table because I've talked to him, and he wants no part of it.
Newjak and Blair are the only names I remember being seriously considered in the last wave. Before that, during the Bada/Pr promotions (and, hilariously, Delph briefly), it was so long ago that it hardly matters who else was mentioned. Probably 3-4 others were batted around, but none seriously considered.

Whomever gets promoted just needs to be active(is there not a weekly 'hours required' rule for mods?) This thing where we're lucky to see some mods once a month is a total waste.
There isn't a minimum (though if someone stopped being active a while back, they're obviously less likely to be asked). But there's no oversight. We're self-governed at this point, which is itself is a loose term.
Like, if I had actually gone postal, I would have deleted threads outright. I could have effectively killed every forum I moderated. If it was a global, they could end KMC. A few would stick around to troll; the rest would pack up and leave.

It has. But if it hasn't happened by now, it won't imo.

I don't begrudge Raz his absence, or anyone else. I've loved KMC. It's been a great place for years. But that's just the reality. I can't guess at his reasons, but that wasn't just something that was brought up the last couple times, it was THE thing brought up. So yeah.
Originally posted by DigiI'm sure Mindset was mentioned, but you're just trying to keep that deal under the radar. Normally I would believe you, but as you can imagine, I'm having significant trust issues with you atm. 😛

Originally posted by DigiYeah, at this point I doubt there are many formal rules for you guys--and certainly no one around to enforce them. It's really sad that this site's own Admin doesn't seem to care much about it. I know RL takes precedence and whatnot, but you can't tell me the man is so busy that logging in more than once a year cannot possibly fit into his schedule. none

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy KMC quite a bit(to this day it's the only comic book discussion forum I belong to/participate in), but it's very disheartening in that regard. /shrug
On another note *looks at Digi's avy/sig* have you read any of the ongoing 'Goblin Nation' stuff? If not, I highly recommend it. I'm not a Spidey fan by any means, but I am enjoying the piss our of that arc so far. 👆

Nah, I'm behind. The Spock nonsense got my pants in a bunch, and I've been boycotting. It's time to jump back in though. I'll check it out.

Cowardice primarily, I am sure.
"He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power...which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death...but not himself."
