It's not likely that theymos will appoint mod based on a poll results. But still, I vould like to share my opinion based on what I see on Bitcointalk. krishnapramod would be a great mod, he made a lot of good reports. LoyceV and Iasenko would be a great choice. They are great at reporting and catching spam bots. I'm not sure about few other guys mentioned here. Some don't want or just don't have time to be a mod, others aren't reporting posts. How you can appoint mod who don't have big number of reported posts.
Anyway, appointing new mods can make situation better only a little. Having a lot of mods is only a fight with consequences of spam, something has to be done to remove reasons of spam.

What happened to mitchell?
I was wondering about that too: he's still Staff, but no longer listed as Moderator on any of the Dutch local boards.Some people on the list aren't active enough or they are a little too biased to be a mod.
I'd also vote foxpup, he's an Active reporter. TheQuin and TryNinja know a lot about the forum, so wouldn't mind nominating them either.
Based on my own opinion and observation, for me, if it's just based on being active and humble. I nominate,
Let's say there's someone on this list have the ability or perfectly fit for being a mod but not really active? So he/she doesn't do his/her duties being mod if he's /she's not active.
When it comes in choosing i'm just base if they are active and humble in their work, and that's i saw with jet cash and suchmoon.
But I'm not saying all the names written on the list are not active.
They are active, but i saw and much convince the will of determination of the two.
- jet cash
- suchmoon

Freedom of speech includes the right of sensible speakers to be heard, and not have their words drowned out by the bleating of the sheep.
Thanks for the kind words guys, but I would be a very bad choice for a mod. My idea of fredom of speech is that people have the freedom to make their speeeches somewhere else if I don't like them.
I'm also extremely erratic in my behaviour. I would like to do somewthing to help the forum, but I don't think I can commit to a regular occupation.

However, freedom of speech didn't mean that we should be allowed unlimited freedom of speech. We all have to accept the consequences of our works as well. The problem here that I see is @theymos still confusing to determine where he should draw the line for free speech. As for my observation its already crossed the border where it actually should be.
I was wondering about that too: he's still Staff, but no longer listed as Moderator on any of the Dutch local boards.
If people are reporting 10,000 or more posts, then the problem is not in the mod'ing, but lies elsewhere.
I think this thread illustrates the crux of the issue. Everyone thinks there should be more moderators, but few actually want to be the moderators. It's a really tough one. This may just be a case of waiting for the right candidates to present themselves, so maybe don't give theymos too much of a hard time about it if you aren't volunteering your own time to improve the situation.
I think this illustrates more that the community isn't necessarily a good barometer of who to make a mod (except maybe in local boards where the most active users are probably amongst the best choices and are often put to votes there). I'm also sure there's plenty of people who want to me mods here, and those who have reported insane amounts would be a good place to start. Theymos should probably post the updated report table again and then maybe we can discuss who might be the best choice there. Hopefully he can post the one by board as well so we can see who would make ideal sub board mods.

You have reported 89 posts with 98% accuracy (80 good, 2 bad, 7 unhandled)
I can't even get the few that I have reported right.
Turn the concept of a "mod" round, and make them into "doms" and I might be up for it.

Putting these things to a vote is futile. Those who are most popular amongst the community may not be the best person for the job (nor want it) and as others have mentioned theymos probably pays little to no attention to them. If he was going to add new mods then he is the one who has the most relevant stats for that and they should be largely chosen by who is reporting the most and most frequently (somebody who has ten thousand reports but hasn't reported anything in months probably isn't going to be a better choice than someone who has reported a few thousand in the past few months etc). If you want a shot at becoming a mod then keep reporting and maybe one day you'll get chosen, but at least you'll help the board out in the process.

Vod, Jet Cash and The Pharmacist were great choices too. We all know that they really hate shitty posters, they are very strict and do not tolerate any kind of disobedience especially coming from those newbies out there.
Yes, but my guess is that as a mod none of us would have any real power because of Theymos's emphasis on "freedom". I would love to nuke posts and threads left and right, but I wouldn't be allowed to do that. It would end up being a frustrating experience with little reward, and it would probably kill my enjoyment of the forum.I'd be interested to know what the newest staff members think about the job. Welsh is relatively new, I think, and Flying Hellfish hasn't been a mod all that long. I wonder how their experiences have been.
In my own opinion, suchmoon suits to become a new moderator of this forum simply because he is an active member and spambuster with a bonus of nice attitude (I guess so because his posts doesn't sounds offensive every time I read it in my mind) .
Vod, Jet Cash and The Pharmacist were great choices too. We all know that they really hate shitty posters, they are very strict and do not tolerate any kind of disobedience especially coming from those newbies out there. So with the strong personality they have, I think they'll be more efficient for the job of maintaining the orderliness of the forum because great spam reduction is assured.

My quick glance shows that below Forum section do no have Moderator.
Skandinavisk
(Korean)
Nederlands (Dutch)
India
Hrvatski (Croatian)
Off-topic
Economics
Project Development
First we should prioritize the section where we have no Moderator.
"Beginners & Help" moderator MiningBuddy was last online on April 04,2018. Leaving B&H without a dedicated moderator is not at all good choice.
"Offtopic" can be made "No activity Generating forum" to reduce some spam there.

I think Jet Cash would be good for mod. He may nuked all the newbies who starts their subject with capital letters and merit beggers 
If TMAN selected for next mod, this kind of report will be issued when post get deleted.
"Read the fucking rules before posting and get lost"
No No don't nominate DdmrDdmr for mod, because there are so many members to filled that spot, but for statistical analysis there are few of them and he is one of the best.
Vod is a very good candidate if he willing to accept. Where is Vod? I think he may has loads of work in his bpip project. He is going to update the trust ratings into his project if my memory serves well.
If there is any vacancy for nuking mod, LoyceV will be the only choice without any doubts.
. You have all the qualifications for mod as well as others.
At the end of the day we all are not in a position to nominate or appoint mods as already said by The Pharmacist. @theymos will decide who will be our next mod/s ,but the only problem is when?

I do appreciate the thought, but as I've said before I don't want to be a mod here. I value the intactness of my hair.

Looking at the P&S election, I see digaran trying so hard to get that mod job. He was trying really hard: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3292413.0;all
If he become moderator, perhaps most of DT will get ban
However theymos know very well who will perfect for that job. As I told trust is involved with this position. But really need run with time being. Day by day increasing new members at the same time increasing also spammer. It's our self discussion who can be nominate for voting just show to theymos who are most popular( if user positive). Perhaps theymos will consider people wants, or he can think that really need to add more moderator.
I think krishnapramod does that, he focuses more on economics board,and is the top reporter there. Words of hilariousandco btw.
Also,hilariousandco received a PM by theymos containing a list of top Bitcoin Discussion reporters. But then again, does our nomination have any real use if nothing ever happens?
I've noticed krishnapramod's reports myself. Oh okay. I wasn't aware that there was a list floating around. Hmm, I'm not sure. I think theymos only ever takes it into consideration if there's not enough reporters reporting there, and he specifically asks for the communities opinion on who should be appointed. Look at the P&S "election" recently. Also,hilariousandco received a PM by theymos containing a list of top Bitcoin Discussion reporters. But then again, does our nomination have any real use if nothing ever happens?
