Actually, I've been closely following the Grey Area and the Moderators threads, and I don't think that any of the parties whose posts got out of hand suggested that they become moderators. No, I won't mention any names, but I guess you can look back and check up on that yourself.

And I really don't know what you mean by: "If you are the people I am referring to...you prove my point."

Don't just think about how the idea of moderators could be abused; make sure to weigh its potential problems against its potential benefits. I can hear both sides of the argument. You should make sure you are thinking it through to the fullest.
