@moonbus saidNo thanks. I am just interested in weighing and acting upon alerts and perhaps dealing with feedback. Thumbs don't fall under the perview of moderators. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
It occurs to me that the post of mere moderator is beneath your skill set, you being so smart and all and privy to information you are not at liberty to divulge. I see a grave need for an agent with authority to investigate the prevalence of a phenomenon which does gravely degrade the site and is by no means merely silly or infantile. I refer of course to the blight of gang-t ...[text shortened]... a name for this special position. I've got it: Grand Inquisitors of RHP! By Jove, Watson, that's it.

@suzianne saidSounds like you are pretty cynical about the mod team here.
It's like wanting to be a politician.
While some start out with the best intentions, like Jimmy Stewart's 'Mr. Smith', wanting to 'do good' or 'make a difference', sooner or later they develop bias, whether personal, or for recompense. Meanwhile, some start with the bias already in place, and those motivations are far different.
They say that most people who strive to be a politician probably shouldn't be a politician. I expect the same applies to moderators.
I agree it’s time for some fresh thinking and a steady hand on the tiler.

@moonbus saidGenerally speaking, how do you cope with change in real life?
