Reply #1552: appoint a DIVERSE and REPRESENTATIVE collection of mods.

use a TAP system where people are NOMINATED from the their constituent groups. otherwise you risk getting people who self-select for liking to wear a badge.

same as what we expect from our government at large. lets have LGBT, Women, people of color, and people representing their interest groups.

mods are essentially judges, and in terms of existing on a discussion board the have the power of summary EXECUTION. that's pretty powerful, and from the looks of the response to just this post, that power has been abused.

as a "democratic" group, shouldn't we adhere to the basic democratic principle of fair representation?
