For one thing, the most nominations for a mod postition were posted this month. I haven't seen as much of a concentration of applications in the 3 months I have been here, so the thought that THIS will be the start of 20 mod applications per month is a little far from truth. Also if chat mods and admins began to nominate, then another problem may rise from that. We would begin to maybe see "favorites" for each admin or mod, and that is something much people want to get involved with. So for the sake of just keeping it simple and controlled: NO! There is obvious favoritism in the current way of application, all a user has to do is get people to like him/her then when he/she applies for anything most of the people that like him will go and support them without thinking twice. In nominations the user not only has to get the mod/admins to like them, they also have to show that they are capable of performing the tasks associated with mod/admin rights.
