Hey all. So I am noticing that some users are trying to play politics a bit on this site but in the past, have been in extreme arguments and led witch hunts against other users (one in particular against me).

I am asking, when choosing moderators for Lindaland that are new, is the team vigilant about this sort of behavior?

People are usually asked to be moderators, if they're here regularly, and aren't trolls. I was once asked, but I've never wanted to be a mod.

Yeah but how do they identify if someone is a troll or not? Because in my view, if someone has a vendetta against certain users then is it really fair to the community to allow them to be a mod?

There was one who caused me a lot of trouble. She's gone now, but not because of that. I don't know. Most of the mods got along with everyone. People would vote for mods, but that was a long time ago.

The reason I ask is because one user has it out for me on this site and they are aggressively trying to play the politics in order to be mod. I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention because it is unfair to not just me but anyone in my situation if someone with a vendetta against a certain user gets to be mod.

FWIW, I do not want to be a mod on here ever (I am just not active enough and post very on and off) but I don't think that users who have a vendetta against others users should be allowed to be a mod either.

If it's who I think it is, I haven't seen anything from them, asking to be a mod. Randall also has the final say, not the moderators. I think he's the only one who can delete your account.
