You've got a good point there.

It depends on whether their egos grow after they gain modship. |
There must be some people out there who don't let getting such a responsible position go to their head, but I suppose it's just human nature.

I dunno whether you'd be able to tell until after you've given them modship.

Until Alex deems that they shouldn't be mods.

What are you implying? That the current mods aren't fit for the job?

Just that there should be more for such a large site.

QM may be right about the ego thing. I remember the last time we have a significant number of mods several of them ended up banned because of all the squabbling.
If there are more mods the power of modship should be reduced to only acting when needed to avoid the increasingly likely power trips. Too many mods means too many different points of view and it becomes more oppressive.

Or too indecisive.

I'm starting out my forum with two mods. This should be enough for a while.

I could have been a good mod several months ago but now I don't have much time since work has ramped up again...
I think the mods on WP do a brilliant job - especially given the amount of time such a job would take. |
I agree the mods do a great job here and you should never give moderator status to people who are begging for it. |
haha, I wasn't begging dumbass |
Okay then demanding to be made a Mod. Which is even worse. Just give it up, your obviously not Mod material. |
lol. I don't wanna be a mod anymore. I'm not stuck on my computer all day like you guys anymore. And people with a creepy default picture like that, shouldn't be giving me advice. |
