One thing I'll mention here is that, in contrast to some of the mod choices from the last few years, most of whom were picked by current mods and then rubber stamped by Dave, this latest round of mod additions (Brittain33, Lumine, and Likely Voter) are people picked by Dave himself, albeit choosing from a larger pool of twenty something candidates that included (but were not limited to) various recommendations from current mods.

One thing I did suggest to Dave was that for the 2016 board vacancy, he pick someone who actively posts there (didn't have to be someone with the frequency of LV, and I would have been happy with several other options as well).  My reasoning being that, not now but certainly by the time the primaries are in full swing, the 2016 board isn't a cushy gig where you're only likely to get one report every three or four weeks.  When we hit busy season, even with three mods there, it will involve at least a little work to keep up with everything, and it would be great to have someone who cares enough to do it.

I suspect some of the people who submitted "moderator applications" had no interest in the 2016 board itself, but would take the job so they could be in on moderator discussions about bannings and the like.  I have no objection to such folks getting assigned to slower boards, but I think it's a bad idea for 2016.

Likely Voter seems like a fine choice, his work lately in the Republican debate watch thread was very dedicated, and has a good understanding of polling news.

Dave has decided that this board has been going down the tubes, and that what it really needs is a moderator with an R-MI avatar.  If only we had an R-MI mod, everything would be great.

For that reason, Cathcon has been made a moderator of Forum Community.

Is respect even considered when choosing mods?

YES! It's about time, we got slightly controversial!! Let's get a little more next time. Hopefully BRTD is next. He's earned it.
