It will never happen, nor should you be able to. What is it going to do, just
say there is a moderator who gets elected and also has the highest votes against
him also.

As for making statements against certain people who are running is rubbish as
well. How about we all write what we dislike about Fenando or you Roger. It will
turn into people making statements which can sometimes be false and it turns
into the person being picked on getting pissed off.

Sounds like you guys want this to turn into one big fight. We have already heard
in posts what some stupid people think about bob and bruce, what the hell do you
think will happen if we also allow people to go over this crap (which has been
deleted) all over again.

Moderator elections does not mean that you have free will to abuse another
members. It is no different from soldiers committing war crimes and blaming it
because it was war time.
