I think you are right about #1. A moderator's valuable improvement is dealing with people that have low quality questions/answers/comments (and churls). IMO a more effective approach would be an outreach program to cultivate participation from vendors, members of open source projects, and technology authors, but SE should be doing that. At the end of the day, I wouldn't worry too much. This forum is a reflection of the IT admin/engineer community, and a fairly accurate one. It's also way better than any other forum of this type. Good luck on the election!
This is a creative solution. This is also a narrow edge case, narrowed by your focus on what you perceive as a problem, with a solution that is confined to your highly-filtered view of how to solve it. That is two additional problems with this question. A question too narrow may not be of benefit to many others, and may not a good candidate for the forum. A question that requires a solution is confined to very narrow requirements or a highly-filtered view of how to solve it by the person asking for help limits the abilities of others to address what may be the real problem.
Yeah, I think the cookie for this site is jacked up. Probably would be a good idea if we could have some kind of reset session for fhe site. Not unlike the "log out of all devices/sessions" feature.
