And no, the mods CANNOT overrule the wishes of the forum members as to who they want appointed. The only person who can appoint a mod is John. The most mods can do is offer opinions, but in reality, this is John's site. If he wants to delete all my posts for no reason, or do something else capricious and arbitrary, he can.

I mean ones that are moved instead of locked and left. I think moving all threads locked for flaming, etc. to a single forum instead of either locked and left or moved to an area where they are unseen by the rest of the forum would be preferable. Perhaps this area would only be viewable to members who are logged in, if that would satisfy others.
I'm well aware John makes the final decision, but a moderator's protest, or multiple moderator's protests appear to strongly influence his position. And I know full well that moderators have their own grudges just as much as regular members do. The fact that KD may internally agree on who the best moderator would be and this person would not be chosen, (in fact no one may be chosen) makes no sense to me. I'd like to see more transparency in the whole process, making it less of a drama. It's a moderator of a forum. It shouldn't take months to decide.
(And for the record, I'm not talking about me. I only volunteered because SK didn't have a moderator, and now we do, and she's great. Just thought I'd clear the air on that one)
