I think the moderating staff that is here now is a decent size. Things receive attention promptly. And, I think Erwin and Stefan genuinely care about the needs of this community and have the users' best interests at heart.
And, I know that they are willing to listen when y'all have genuine concerns, as is Wayne.

My post had nothing to do with becoming a moderator. It's a suggestion to quantify a members participation for moderators to stop the perception of favoritism.
I know it's an out there idea, but for now, there's no way to know where a member stands. It's purely opinion and that opinion varies from staff member to staff member some are pointing out.
I think it's why these type threads are started by a different members when others get closed. Everyone's perception is different. Without a finite way to qualify a member, we will get opinions. We all know how well a jury of opinion works. :/
I don't expect this to be implemented, I'm just putting it out there so the point is made. There is only opinion. When there is only opinion, clubs and inside gangs become possible. The members are warning that this is their perception. A good business would listen to it's customers and find a way to even the playing field.
I don't have the answer, but the question is very very clear.
