The best thing he could do is keep the current moderation team with Whiteflame as head moderator, as they have experience. As for adding new moderators, there are many good choices who wont abuse their power, such as Savant, DreamOfLiberty, and me of course.

Of course.

And I agree, things seem to work OK as they are.

Fauxlaw and Lemming are my two contenders.

Mharman is one of my secondary choices.

No Mr. "Actually if-then logic is fake" is not the ideal choice or even an acceptable choice for a debate site moderator or a debate site member.

Mharman decided to spew slurs on a now-censored thread and crash out over being told to act mature and obedient to rules.

Mharman is among the single worst options for mod ever.

Oh shit Lancelot's account is haunted. Or he's referring to himself in the third person. Take your pick.

If you were offered the position of a moderator, would you accept or decline?

Glad to hear the site will continue.

Not sure what you all had in mind with regards to a redesign and rebrand of the site. Just wanted to say that I really like the way this site is designed as well as it's functionality for whatever it's worth. Hoping the changes are not drastic.

Like most of the other ideas.

I have always admired Lemming's  thoughtful posts and insights. I would strongly support him as a mod.

Never known Mhar to act like this.

What chaos happening here?, Is there any election for moderator, why people suggesting names, If all active users want to become moderator , then this site will drop, we need only 1 moderator for 100 active users, If we increase moderators then we can't use this site with freedom , so I request all true members of this site to stop unwanted things, . I always support whiteflame as head moderator , until he retries ,  whiteflame has ability to maintain fairness, If you increase moderators rapidly then it severly affects the site members.

I was under the impression a new moderator was being selected in the near future.

They are. 

Barney is on the verge of retirement, which is potentially a bad sign because the mod team will be understaffed. It was implied Barney was rushing, and that's how Adaptable was originally chosen. But since Adaptable has been demodded, it's only a matter of time before someone else is picked for the position. 

And when that time comes, we need to be prepared to make sure that the person in question doesn't pull the same shit.
So as it currently stands, I am vouching for Lemming as my first choice. Mharman as my backup.

That's something we will be working on - fixing all the bugs. There's quite a bit of features that are not working properly

Right now my primary focus is on getting the website transferred over to me and redesigning the website and adding in new features

There is no election for moderator positions, but we are openminded to feedback. The site used to have an elected position, but that turned out badly. That said, for some things we do hold referendums; since we're here to serve the community not rule it.

You've likely seen moderation get behind, and that is with a much better ratio than 1 to 100. The problem is this is a debate site, so active users like to argue.

Notice how Barney assumes he has authority to decide who moderates the site you will own.

This stems from the fact he and Whiteflame have run the show for years now; in fact Barney has run it for longer, as you know.

You are in charge David. You are the executive, autocrat, head of state of DART.

Do not confuse this situation for anything other than total authority in you. You run the show now. Rethink your allegiances.

Yoy definitely haven't seen it. He deserved 1 week ban minimum. WF and Barney capitulated to crybabies such as Mharman himself and Mikal.

It happened in the Forum Games section and the entire thread has been wiped.

Mharman is significantly racist too btw. He masks it. It came out with his N word usage in that thread as a man that claims he is white.
