I believe it might be good if Mods we’re voted in by the membership....but the process might cause problems, too,

Probably best if they are selected by existing moderators, I would have thought... Less "opportunity" to add weight to the scales in favour of one side or another and more chance that some "impartial" (as much as possible) judgements on potential applicants based on past\present actions\behaviour would take place - A moderator SHOULD be neutral in any conflict, not seen by either party as having an obvious bias against them.

There aren't any conservative mods, atm.
The left-wing bias is one of the major problems here.
And we need more maturity, but I think the die has already been cast.

Pepe for a mod! That would solve all the problems you listed :mrgreen:

They would need mod tools to verify suspicions or at least a mod that can be bothered to use them. People making valid reports about sock-puppets have been ignored or even accused of being "paranoid" in the past so they stopped doing it.

I've been making this suggestion since we lost our troll-buster last October, and I said it again this week.
The person best equipped for this troll-busting position, with proven success, is still in our midst.
I believe they have offered their services to Admin. Time will tell how valued this service truly is.

I was thinking more along the lines of Howard Hughes, and saving bodily fluids in containers.

Bias isn't an issue if the person with it can recognise their natural bias and account for it in their decision making. It is an issue when the person with it is unaware (or worse still, while being aware of it, ignores it) and allows it to affect their judgement, though, and I have come across moderators in the past like that...It never ended well for the site involved.

If possible there should be "conservative" mods. While it might be difficult for them to follow the "progressive" guidelines despite being an autistic site the guidelines need to be interpreted for each individual case, this is where a different perspective could come in handy.

In my time working the most successful companies involved leadership members with very different personalities that respected each other. The companies that failed were individually owned.

I believe in the democratic process.

A side of me really wants a Mod election.

What do you think this is, a Democracy? It's a Benevolent Dictatorship, managed by Benevolent Oligarchs.

Nothing more.

It would be fun—but it might cause unnecessary conflict.
