Les,
In my mind, I see points 1 & 2 as being related. It seems to me if we allow moderators to be in multiple forums we should really always call for votes for nominations for vacant positions in all forums. There would be no exceptions like point 1.
By using polls, we are implicitly leaving it to others to decide this for us. It's not the moderator who decides to co-moderator another board instead it is the board members who vote who will decide.
please note that I used point 2 in the last poll. NTDOC was was nominated first in both the Starters & Scripts forum but I offered him a choice.
We don't need to follow an absolutely rigid formula for this. One possiblity is a mixed strategy for different forums. One possiblity I thought of is we might consider the Suggestions/beta forums to be really one joint forum with common moderators. Also, we might consider the FAQ forum to be a "non-forum" & thus the moderators of these forums could host another active forum.
It is my opinion that for the more active forums, exclusive moderators are important. These moderators need to monitor their forum a minimum of several times each week. I notice that many of other discussion boards on the web seem to have different moderators for different forums.
