This new system invites open mod warfare on every stock board. I-Hub may resemble the worst of a gladiatorial arena before too long. Members may be less inclined to participate. The plan in progress is destabilizing at best. There are better ways to balance the wheel.
Retain the old system but place every mod on controlled probation. If a mod deletes a certain number of posts that are subsequently restored by Admin, that mod is removed. If posts that are clear violations of TOS remain on the board undeleted by mods and are subsequently TOS'd by a member and deleted by Admin, that would count against all mods. If a mod goes AWOL for a certain length of time, that mod is removed. Those procedures alone will rid I-Hub of most bad mods or placeholder mods. Better yet, the variables above could be formulated into an algorithm and programmed into the system. Call it the Mod Algorithm, for want of a better term. When a mod trips the threshold set by the Mod Algorithm, that mod is automatically removed.
Meanwhile, the changes in mod assignage as announced are inviting a host of unintended consequences, none of them particularly good. Neither is it a particularly good business decision. A stock chat board suceeds or fails based on a framework of order, stability and fairness. The changes in progress serve none of these desired attributes.
Just my two cents.
