Vegan would be a terrible choice. She's far too soft and her hearts in the right place!

Perhaps she wouldn't be good at disciplining members, but she'd use her powers to add worth to our community in other ways. Perhaps she'd nag the other mods about being too strict now and then, but hey, I'll leave them to worry about that.

Of course, as it is now, she's not here that often and I'm pretty sure she'd decline an offer, but she'd be one of my favourite contestants.

Well, you're not getting my vote!

She actually declined last time as well, I think, two years ago when you guys were selecting new mods (and Vanilla and I got the honours).

Can you really see her deleting spam posts?

As that's what we spend most of our time doing I don't think modding her would be a good idea.

Remember that she said we should giver spammers a chance.

There would be uproar after just a week

Well, perhaps if it's obviously made by a bot.

In all fairness, she might do something like remove the spam, but tell the spammers how they can stick around if they just follow the rules in the future (instead of the usual ban & delete). She'd probably write a ****load of long PMs, but - the point being - perhaps she wouldn't deal with the spam like you (and I used to) do it, but she'd still deal with it.

That's what I think anyways

The job might also give Erica a sort of reality check of how things really are on these forums if her perception today is a little off, but that possibility is also interesting to me.

Or do what she does now and just post it for them.

I like to think a mod team should be a bit like the Goonies. You got the smart inventor guy (Data), the sociable guy (Mouth), the regular all-rounder (Mikey) and the useless fat kid (Chunk). You know, each one brings something new to the table; some special abillity that they possess in greater quantity than the others.

I would say hers is being nice to people and you don't really need to be a mod to do that.
