[check_mate_kid_uk]

people keep complaining about the moderators, currently they get appointed by Allen and it is his choice, and people seem to think the moderators are creating some sort of dictatorship

well how about we get to vote who allen apoints as mod's if it bothers you so much.

theres certain people about who give me the feel they are trying to become mods.

these people i wouldn't want as mods.

but it'd be really hard to pick who would make a good mod.

Having a vote for moderators would simply allow the more well-known and popular posters to win, regardless of any qualification that they may have. I say leave it the way it is.

The mods are always coming under fire, but personally I don't get why. They do a good job and their decisions to close threads etc are perfectly reasonable from my point of view.

Well, i believe in something called freedom of speech. It seems some moderators are a little over zealous when it comes to deleting threads, etc.

I think the only things that should be deleted are spam or major trolls. Otherwise, don't try to dictate what people can or can't express.

Couldn't agree more. At the end of the day we shouldn't really be complaining, because we shouldn't be here, we should be out there, in the real world, not splitting hairs over who has power on an internet forum.
