I'm sure Athens will give the boot to anyone who slips through the cracks and acts in a biased way; if he didn't intend to do so we wouldn't be overhauling at all.

Right, but I'm just suggesting that representation
shouldn't be what we're going for... or at least not so obviously? ATRL's just a forum, not a country with 'states' that need representation. Isn't there a way to select quality mods without parading around their allegiances to different artists?
I'm not saying the people who will be selected won't be good mods, but users who feel slighted will always come back to this to try and prove a perceived bias. I just predict even more in-fighting amongst the mods and even more whining/accusations of bias amongst the general membership.
Why not overhaul the bylaws/rules for warnings/whatever they're called and make sure whoever you pick next follows them to a T?
) but I hardly get WPs for that. Interesting eh?
