I'm surprised by the amount of current moderators running for Talkboard, mostly because it shows their dedication to Flyertalk.

I don't want to start a discussion whether or not they are "allowed" to run as that is Randy's decision but I am curious how a moderator plans to combine both activities.

In my view the Talkboard will become more of an active participant in several processes, will the moderators participation be a conflict of interest or a valuable asset? Should there be a maximum of 1 or 2 moderators on the Talkboard. Should there be a non-elected moderator on the Talkboard to work on issues together?
