Agree , local mod would be better to understand local situations

No offence  I think the mod should be someone active who is always around regardless someone reporting or not... what would any member know if people from a particular background are conversing....for example, I've seen threads where people were communicating in a particular language and members are chiming in "English English" and mods don't intervene after 5 days +.

Someone locally will be mucho quicker. I see tons of members who are active and based on that you god fathers can select one

Any reported content is read and analyzed within a few hours (by a mod, or myself)

But somehow you're right. The first step would be to nominate an expert. I've got someone directly in mind but any suggestion will be considered, thanks

Its not about the quanity, its about the quality. Even if the members are active doesnt make them the better bet for moderators.

Agreed, but if mods are good at it, they will weed out the worst and select the best...after all they are the mods 

Hamudi,

You raised an important point I had been worried about but was afraid of putting it on the forum.

I believe that we may agree or vote for a  'volunteer Mod' and an assistant  for each country. This will keep the things more democratic and responsive.

I do not know how Julian would react on this, since this would also mean giving away a part of 'control'.
