Do you people even read before you hit reply?
This thread isn't about the WWIR or MoD, for God's sake. It was about the degradation of Randomness into a /b/ equivalent, and basically that it needs change.
My friend, you can't change randomness by creating a thread QQing about MoD's blogger status or how the moderators are OMGHORRIBLE.
You can contribute to the cause, though, by posting in MyTie's thread, which I linked already, or sending Malgayne an e-mail.
I can tell you one thing, though: We won't be able to vote for moderators any time soon on this website.
</facepalm>
The thread wasn't ment to be QQing about MoD's blogger status--I made a sidenote and then fed the topic-diverting trolls--if you read any previous posts, you would know that. Also, the "voting for moderators" was a METAPHOR for "not putting up with bad moderators."

It's close to 3 AM, and I am tired. I'll get straight to the one half of the topic you addressed rather shabbily - moderation. I gather you are dissatisfied with the way we moderate our precious little Randomness. Would you care to offer some more insight to this? What was unjustly moderated? Is it something specific, or are you unhappy with us in general, and if that's the case - how so? I am curious to learn how you would like us to improve, and, hey, if it's within reason, we might as well just do it!
I have a moderator friend, and from the way he speaks about moderating Randomness, its not a pretty thing. In short, the current state of Randomness is hard as HELL to moderate. I can see why, and blame the majority of the spammers and trolls lurking around here.

Honestly, P:C seems mortally flawed, if you want my opinion, because the "voting" system wouldn't work. Look at the USA--Even though it's a democracy, it has things in place to prevent from (dumb) mob rule. If P:C got popular enough, it'd be ruled by mobs of idiots voting all their favorite trolls as mods.

Everybody, chill a little. This is getting close to the flame wars all of you claim are degrading the forum.
I've seen a notion that trolls have become moderators. Several times. I am probably breaking an unwritten rule here, but why don't you tell us who you have in mind? Because I am fairly confident none of the current moderators are "trolls". Or have been. Or either if they have, it must have been long before their "trial period", so to speak.
Now, the other thing. We are bad at moderating? Let me be blunt here - none of us really want to moderate Randomness. It's messy, chaotic, our decisions usually invoke a lot of "WTF, MODS LOCKED MY THREAD, IT WAS A GOOD THREAD, UNLOCK NAO, QQ!" (usually with a lot poorer grammar, but the same CAPS). Not to mention that I think Randomness gets more replies and new threads per day than any other forum. In other words - it's exhausting, and with our limited time, it's really not getting to the top of our priority list. In fact, I think we have... no more than 3-4 moderators who dare enter Randomness. Do I think everybody should help us? Yes. But I am not going to enforce it, because I know how frustrating it can be.
And while we are on this topic. I understand a lot of this thread is about MasterOfDisguise, and supposedly something he did wrong. The information I have does not indicate so. Would anyone care to elaborate on this?
And while on all those topics - use the Report system, people. I said it's not humanly possible for us to keep on eye on everything that happens in Randomness. But if you point us to a specific thread or post, then it's much easier and faster.

Then I will have a reasonable and logical explanation of why he is being the way he is. And if it's missing, I think it will be safe to start deleting any comments that keep this kind of attitude, as they would be clearly unreasonable and illogical.
