Add election-2012 tag so we can find this by year later.

| Jan 10, 2012 at 21:33 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @JohnGardeniers Very true - the lifer logic is that you can be truly independent (absent gross misconduct and impeachment), but the flip side is the lifer who only comes to work every other Tuesday for 3 hours (mods who move on & go inactive). // Interestingly in the US we have a mix of both - Lower court judgeships are often regular elected offices with a set term (that typically gets longer as you climb the ladder: My village court is a 3-year term, NY State Supreme Court is 14 years). Perhaps StackOverflow would like to guinea pig that model for us? :-) | |
| Jan 10, 2012 at 21:19 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @voretaq7, that might be the way the federal bench is handled where you are but elsewhere things are done differently. While both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, lifers in anything are rarely as valuable as someone who has to earn a position. | |

The Stack Overflow opinion is that moderators are moderators for life. … or until they stand down. I would argue that the federal bench is the best analog for moderator positions: Lifetime appointment, we add more judges if we need them (based on case load), and when one retires we fill the vacant seat in addition to any new seats we're adding.

| Jan 10, 2012 at 4:58 | comment | added | Chris S | "Dealing with sheer flag volume is one aspect of this (which most of us can't speak to), the other is community faith in the moderators. Inactive or semi-inactive moderators may not be equipped to deal with flags appropriately; and even if they are, their lack of visibility to the community leaves a perception that they're disconnected from it." +1 on that alone. Not trying to throw anyone under the bus, but that is exactly the perception. | |
