This is derailing from its intended purpose.
I can't even express my thoughts at this point. Mod isn't a participation award it's earned by doing reports(staffing) , doing ban reqs (you know, so we know you know how to handle a report), being active in the community, and generally putting your name out there as a prominent staff member. I like ace but I wouldn't up someone to mod just because I like them.
Membesr do have a say, hence the purpose of this thread, but comments from the staff also help because they can see a lot of what members can't, eg. Reports done or not when we log in. If I log and the reports are all "waiting", the staff member isn't doing their job. To note staffing isn't a 'job' and dtmods are not expected to staff per say, as they donated it's up to them, but anyone expecting to get a promotion should be showing they can do the work.
And while I've put most of my time into finishing my semester and job, I'd wager I DO still have a say.
