I think the most recent moderator-placements are interesting.
Hobo, for example, I see as being made a moderator merely because of who he is friends with. Which is fair enough, of course, but he certainly isn't the best choice of moderator, regardless of his experience on OWF.
I'd be surprised if Ambi isn't made a moderator in good time.

I said it happens; there's no way around it.

I'd say what you said was closer to 'It happens, get over it.'
It is possible to stop it happening, and more than correct to question it. Authority that is supposed to be fair does not do well to show favouritism. Look at teachers, judges, juries and suchlike. People would rightly be unhappy and outspoken if these positions showed favourtism and leniency towards certain people.
Perhaps they do show favouritism where you are, and everyone is fine with that, but I cannot see it happening in my life/surroundings.
You may also say that a forum is unimportant, irrelevant, doesn't matter, or something. This is avoiding the issue. Hopefully you wouldn't say that.
