Throughout the past I've seen quite a few people modded and demoded, on both ends for silly reasons. It's no secret that people pick on mod choices as just a big popularity contest, but is this poking fun at the thought excusing the [insert current owner here]'s choice in moderator-ship.
The most recent case was with the demodding of 3 people, 1 undeserving of what happened and 2 who did absolutely nothing wrong in the first place. After this, 2 people who never even posted an application was let through, one as a 'temp' but there's been 0 talk about them being replaced. They've gone from a temp to a perma.
While I was mod, most of the reasoning included "they're not known enough to the community" or "they're too popular and it may look like a popularity contest". By trying to avoid making it a popularity contest, are we making it a popularity contest?
All decisions are extremely biased. While voting for moderators have been discarded as a "popularity contest", wouldn't that be better than just the owner picking someone who's clique enough but not too much that people would rip into them?
all of them but tricksterers are posted in that thread and i did announce why hers wasn't. she was at work during the deadline so i said she could pm it to me, i'm happy to share it if you like
"Apply by posting in this thread, *PMs will not be considered* in the interest of keeping things in public record. Everyone will be considered, so please apply if you have any interest in moderating Sandbox."

The community is split between games and chatbox, and only a few people actively participate in two. You have to make a name for yourself in chatbox as a prerequisite now it seems.
The moderator applications should have been the place where people can say that they can prove their worth, and tell how they're going to contribute to the lobby.
I was vague in my OP because it can literally apply to almost any owner in sandbox.
I will willingly list out any examples after I get home
i don't think many people would want a mod that they didn't even know (i wouldn't). sure someone could become well known BECAUSE of being a mod but really in any case i don't think that would happen
you choose someone based on merit, and consideration of their popularity in the community and what they've done to contribute to it should always be included
tl;dr this thread makes little sense. besides you are far too vague in your OP because i don't even know who you're talking about. why not provide names if you wanna make a legit case
