No offense s4, but I'm not too fond of that.
What if I didn't
want to moderate the first forum a vote was taken in? Should I pass on that chance, and hope that the one I am interested in works out? Other candidates will be thinking the same thing.
Perhaps they would just try for every forum to better their chances of becoming a mod, and then swap and trade to sort things out later... but how would that be any different than just electing them as a group and letting them decide how to assign forums?
Besides, it still has the "one position, one vote" method that, IMO, is just not that great of a way to do it.
(BTW, yes, I think our popular vote for Presidential elections is completely screwed, and we should redo the system
)
