Elections should trigger terms for those wanting to serve on the TalkBoard.
I don't think that's true at all. I know there are very good members (not including myself) who have applied to be moderators and have been rejected for not posting in the "right" forums or for other reasons never fully explained.

That's right, members who have had over 10K posts and have been here for years. So to say that it's hard to find good members, in my opinion, is completely wrong.

I'm not for term limits. But not because there aren't good people out there willing and able to do the job.

Edited to add: And I've received PMs from 2 members now spelling out this exact scenario.
