Those who can honor their volunteer commitment for the duration are appreciated. Also appreciated are a proven track record for non-abuse of the moderators' positions in forums, confidentiality of personal information like names and locations; also, an awareness of the apprehension created by introducing new people into these positions however much they are liked.
That no one else was even nominated is a strong indicator of the importance the general community places on these factors. In this light, it may be appropriate to ask if annual elections give false hope to members who may want to fill the position for whatever reason. In particular, do we really need to put newer members of the community through disappointment (for themselves; or, their nominees) across several election cycles before they get the gist of the vast majority?
