Deal with the Individual, Leave the Thread Be

I agree. Julez would be an excellent choice. She's a very well-respected member of the UK forum.

How about letting members of a regional forum elect 2-3 nominees and then Ewok can choose from them?

In cases where the language on a regional forum is English, the regional forum moderator should not be someone who participates in that forum and and has formed personal relationships with people on that forum. JMHO.

or someone who is more than willing to join in on flaming people that one of their clique is engaged in an ongoing dispute with.

I don't know enough about the UK forum to comment on the specifics of the idea of julez being mod on the UK forum.

From what we've seen - post history isn't a bar to becoming a moderator

Provided the person is willing to take the role seriously, to refrain from trolling in (any) of the forums, not just the ones that they moderate. Why not?

agreed. but, all the evidence needed is there. it'd be like making me or you OT mod.

I'm awfully sorry, but I don't see you post much in the UK forum. Do you know what all the personalities are like in there, and the various friendships, spats, make-ups, in-jokes and topics of conversation? What makes you, as a PI poster, qualified to pass judgement on her putative modding ability in the UK sub-forum alone?

I don't think you'd find many people in the UK forum who would say Julez's behaviour in the UK forum is anything like yours or Six's in OT. I would make a terrible UK mod and I said so -- I would not be able to be fair. Three months ago might have been a different story, but now, pfffft.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

It's not for me. I really couldn't be arsed to put in the work.
