theophania, is a moderator really necessary?? I haven't voted yet because there wasn't an option for "I don't think we need one". What is their purpose? I've only ever seen mods post announcements to the boards for the admin team.
Not trying to be rude, I just truly don't understand why we would "need" one.
Also, if we didn't choose someone for our board, what would a global moderator look like?
I will be 100% honest though and say that I feel like we have a member on this board who would be a great board moderator and has shown that she's around enough to do it. If the board chooses to have a set moderator, then I plan on nominating her unless anyone thinks that I should not nominate someone as an admin. BMBs can have up to two moderators if the board so chooses.
ETA and if it comes up this is not someone I'm friends with off-board or even that I've talked to in advance about moderating. It's just someone I've noticed over the course of time that shows the characteristics we like to see in moderators.
I 100% agree with you and my vote will go to her too! I get having the vote, but I'm guessing it will be a landslide lol!
Thanks for the info too! I haven't seen mods actually needed since TD so I had forgotten the purpose. Which is surprising since I come from May '15 lol

I'm like 90% sure we're all thinking of the same person, lol.
Personally, I don't think we *need* a mod, but I don't really feel strongly one way or the other.
