It seems to me that you could theatrically have a situation, where 3 moderators were elected who did not care what the other moderators thought. However, looking over the list of the "to be moderators", they are all pretty sensible guys. It makes sense to me that as a moderator, if I saw a post that had some outrageous personally attack on someone, I would delete it immediately. I would expect the same of the other moderators. We all know what should and should not be here. However, of course there is going to be situations where it takes a "unanimous" decision, to execute a verdict. Such as banning people, and/or removing a post that is considered "controversial". Case and Point: Ed is up for election as a moderator. This posses a problem in that he might have a "biased" opinion regarding the deletion of say, a post flaming Rebel products. On CCC, flaming a product is clearly allowed; it's flaming people that is not. Ed has already stated that he would abstain in moderator decisions that he might hold an interest in. Which would leave 2 moderators to make the decision. Like Hyatt said, it's a team. Or at least, it should be a team. I would how many votes it takes to impeach a moderator. :) Slate
