The borderline situations, >just like this one, would be the most valuable ones. I don't think any of that is needed. We know enough about just about anyone here who is likely to be nominated. Do they think clearly? Can they reason logically? Are they inflamatory? Quite frankly, I think *most* of the posters here would do a good job (though perhaps not the sort of job *I* would like best). It's really not that difficult. Just busy-work mostly, and even that is fairly infrequent. It seems to go in cycles of high/low, with new elections being a very sharp spike upwards for some inexplicable reason. Any perceived lack of action by the moderators is surely the fault of the regular CCC members for not using the moderator request form. If enough people are offended by anything, the moderators surely will act -- even if it is themselves that they must censor.
