why would it matter at all if the next mod is from sp or fa, whatever that is? This is a forum. Forums have pretty general, easy-to-follow rules: "Don't troll. Don't flame. Don't post porn." Being a genius is not required to enforce such rules. You don't need to "know the community" to be a mod either, all you need is basic common sense, more time than the average person, and a weird attraction to internet responsibilities. I'm pretty sure every single active stick page member is adequately suited for the job, with the exception of a few self righteous idiots. It takes two seconds to realize if a dude is a nitwit, not years of community fraternizing. Also, I've been here for years and I don't know any of you guys, so join date is not really a good indication of how well someone knows the community..
