Yeah - let's pit the administrators against each other.
"Favorite" is such a vague term. It is not quantifiable, neither is it even remotely discernible and is extremely discretionary.
How would you define a favorite moderator? Is the criteria contingent on how they behave as a member here, or does it depend on how they moderate? Or both?
Or maybe...
- Is it because they're funny when they post?
- Is it because they helped you with a Shitlist?
- Is it because they cut you some slack, when you broke a rule?
- Is it because they're fantastic individuals?
- Is it because they're good to talk to?
- Is it because they take care of spam well?
Or is it completely something else?
Someone at my ex's work had this brilliant idea last year to have a ballot where a staff of over 200 voted for their favorite managers out of 14 (Overlapping departments, broad spectrum management structure etc.) It didn't go too well. A lot of morale was lost. The one who won, had already put in his papers for a better offer from a different company and shortly left. So the supposed morale boost didn't help. Two others who came in last, decided to leave. And others became rude and obnoxious and felt betrayed.
