I just am left wondering what the process was for choosing the new moderators? Some of those people you chose are more than qualified and I see as being great moderators. A few of the other people have me left wondering why they were chosen and who did the choosing? What were the criteria?
The plain of simple of it is this. Yes we needed more moderators but I think there should have been a nomination and voting process. If you are going to ask for money then the people giving the money should have a say on large issues like this.
