Actually I don't think we really need to have election. If we do have elections they should only be for a few postitions where it is obviously needed. Places where the current Mods need help or no longer visit these forums on a regular enough basis.
We need to have two regular mods for each major forum so that when someone is gone, there is still someone to take care of deleting, moving, changing, etc...
