As the poster above said they're appointed by the site owners. It's theyre job. Why would you want to vote them out? Have you had a run in?

I think we should be able to vote off people who create dumb post.

You cant say "im playing around" than say, "there is this one mod". Which one and why?? I am sure they can come in this thread and have a reasonable conversation. They aren't "that bad".
And I agree with Outkast *ducks* that would be pretty funny to see how those who think it is easy to Mod these forums actually gives it a try for a whole year. I doubt they would last a week.

Good luck with that
But you know the site isn't funded through tax dollars or government owned and being a private company means it doesn't belong to us members in any way.
The most you could argue for (and very likely not receive) is that one mod is nominated by members. Perhaps a variation could be that a number of nominee members put themselves forward, the rest of the membership has one vote and administrators or existing mods have a number of votes. Or that nominees are vetted by ATS already and we ordinary members vote on them
Its too much trouble to be seriously considered though. The possible benefit for those that run the site is increased loyalty from members who feel that they have a serious say in ATS...
