60 really active users As you can tell by how many people vote in the elections. Really...I was on a bigger message board with over two hundred active users, and there were only...4 mods, 2 admins. 1 of the admins doesn't even come in all that often, and one of the mods isn't too active. And guess what? It's not in shambles. So really, your time will come

Nope cause you were a mod 6 times. How many admins in the past 5 terms have not been mods?
Chill, bro. Complaining about this will only make the next team not want to select you.

The Top Crusader, Eugene Blackgaard, Oba-rai, Azariah Ben Yaakov.
What is the point you are trying to make? Do you think you should have been made a mod? Do you think teamaric somehow unfairly chose too few mods?

Nah, thus says the guy who's been around for over three years and has a bunch of experience.
Everyone else here pretty much agrees that mods are selected based on maturity and experience, and that the ToO simply doesn't need a bunch of mods. I'm not really sure why you're still trying to argue, unless you're just kinda mad that you didn't get chosen.

New members always seem to freak out if they aren’t picked within two or three elections, and I can’t decide if I find it humorous or annoying.
All I have to say on the matter is I was a member for over four years before I was chosen, and I didn’t have a problem with that. The reason I joined this site was not to become a moderator. I was perfectly content being a basic member, knowing that if I was right for the position my time would come. In all honesty I was surprised to be selected last term. I hadn’t been waiting election to election hoping I would be picked.
I am not mad about not being chosen. I had been around less than a week. I'm not completely dense. I am merely stating that whoever has more modding experience. Is more likely to be elected. I don't really care to be mod. I just don't think its fair for people to be chosen over and over. When other people with over a hundreds of posts, who haven't served should not be chosen.

Ok this stuff I'm about to say is PURELY a description of NOBODY just to say what I think a Mod should be i'm not mad at anybody or anything
In my opinion Mods should be people who do not spam, unless it's a good situation ( A thread in padded room or a crazy Hillingdale thread for instance) One who is responsible and actually cares about good work/cleaning up the town someone who doesn't complain when they are not chosen, and one who has a great interest in making the town a better place. That's how I see it anyway

And I was a member for five years before my first. Then again, I did join when I was only 10...

I don't get what you're trying to say, bro. What's wrong with any of that? If you're a good choice for a moderator, you'll probably get picked as one. The admins don't sit down and go 'ok, let's figure out what's the most FAIR and only choose mods who haven't been chosen before', because that wouldn't work, and it's also unnecesary. The admins instead merely sit down and go 'ok, we need some mods this term. Let's see who would be the best choices'.

I see what you are saying KF, but I would have to agree with Jelly as well.
If you want to run for mayor and don't have any modding experience, that shouldn't matter. What matters is if you have been a good citizen. I would never vote for someone based on if they had been a mod or not. You should vote based on how they act and how good their platform is.

But...if people who have never served as anything never get to serve, how will things go on? I mean, obviously AE(for example) had a first time to be in some sort of 'leadership' place. Or am I misunderstanding you? 'cause I have been known to do that.

I am merely stating the facts. How many admins haven't served as mods before hand?
