Should Moderators be able to hold Judiciary positions?

F. Forum Moderators
1. Are responsible for handling elections and site maintenance.
2. Are responsible for enforcing Civfanatics Forum rules within the Democracy Game Forums.
3. Are not officials.
4. May not hold Leader positions.

New:
F. Forum Moderators

I agree with this proposal, because the Judiciary Branch and the Mods are not that different to me.

I voted abstain, as though I have been a proponent of this proposal, I have recently been a little taken aback by having very active mods, possible over-active sometimes. I will set aside my judgement and let the citizenry go on without me....

I am voting for this proposal. I believe restricting mods is taking the fun out of the game for the people who typically have contributed to it the most. Frankly, I would rather see no restrictions on mods' participation in the game. Inappropriate mod action should be taken to the fora owners, not dealt with as a game/government matter.
