The way it works is if I run and win, I become MOD then EE is vacant.

Maybe Great Divide might PM you and ask to take over Extremism Exposed to free you up for this Board then? Wink

EE has 81,159 posts - it's a major MRB.

Why would you downgrade to a minor MRB as H&W with only 7,192 posts?

Is it that a poster who's been recently suspended/banned from this place is still eligible to be a moderator here?

Why not? Just because they might be weak as a Member, doesn't mean they will be so as a Moderator.
Many 'average' players in sport, have gone on to be great Coaches. While many great players have gone on to be crap Coaches.

Dangerous stuff, analogies.

Shouldn't the capacity for self-moderation, at least to the point where the poster hasn't been suspended/banned for rule-breaking, be a prerequisite for a moderator?

Who the hell said you have to break a rule to be suspended?

I spent 2021 more banned than not—why???????????

lol... actually... no, I wouldn't.

And not because of his Mod status.

I suspect he probably wouldn't paint as big a target on his back here as he does in the Coronavirus section but I'm pretty sure he will still be fun to watch.
