I think that the system is for the most part self moderating (i.e. each
individual polices themself as a normal rule). For the few cases where an
individual(s) is being a real pain, then the moderators are needed.

I think that most of the nominees think that they have to read EVERY post. Why
should this be? The moderators should filter the posts by author, read those
authors who are occasionally troublemakers, read those posts that interest them,
and read those posts that people Email to the moderators as trouble.

So, there may be nominees who are declining just due to what they perceive as a
an awful lot of work. Do not get me wrong, there is work involved. However, I do
not think that it includes reading each and every post (and obviously it does
not mean reading posts as soon as they are posted).
