Like OTW said, some mods thing that the mod's corner shoud be OMG SO SECRETIVE like top secret government secrets are being revealed and ritual is being discussed. Those mods generally just don't want the peon members to know that they're talking crap on them behind the closed mods corners door.
Anyway, I don't see John getting to this any time soon because he just doesn't seem to care. Plus he's at least six months or so behind on PMs or even PMs that he swore he would respond to.

The apparent contradiction from what you've posted (that the current mods have a LOT of influence on the decison) and what 33girl posted (that the mods have NO say) is why I think there should be more transparency about it. PMs are clearly going to happen anyway, but why not put it out there and get rid of the idea that being a mod and seeing mod-hood is as serious as AI and should only be offerred upon the most worthy contenders in all the land.
I think it's good to have a cross section of moderators, clearly not everyone is going to like the same people. We're all human. I think people who expect moderators to be godly are only asking for mods to have sockpuppets where they say what they really think.
FWIW kddani, I don't believe I ever had a problem with you as a moderator, and I too had thought you'd voluntarily quit. It sounds like that wasn't quite the case even if you can't elaborate and I think that's a shame.
