The Mod Elections forum exists for the purpose of hosting moderator and AVEN Project Team elections. Moderators and Project Team members are elected by the board members, this is done by creating a simple one-choice thread poll in which the members vote for a candidate. To prevent sock voting, a member must reach 25 votes before they are eligible to vote in such threads, or even view this forum. Only the administrators can start threads in this forum, though any member can reply or vote once the post limit has been reached.
Traditionally, this forum would've been hidden from view once unused or no longer necessary, though this has become a somewhat irregular procedure lately.
Process
The Mod Elections forum usually hosts the thread in the latter voting stages, initially the thread is posted in the Announcements forum, where the candidate Q&A sessions take place. Using this method, the thread can be accessed by both unregistered guests and members.
Once the candidate Q&A sessions are finished, the thread is moved from Announcements to Mod Elections, where the poll is added. This voting period lasts for several days.
History
AVEN held its first elections in December 2004, however these first elections predate the creation of the Mod Elections forum. Three moderators and seven administrators were elected by the public boards, these elections were held in the Announcements forum.
In fact, the forum shares its creation and origins with the AVEN Project Team. Due to an issue with AVEN's polling software at the time (phpBB), sockpuppet voting became a major concern. Initially, the plan was for members to send in their vote by PM or email to an admin, though the forum proposal was favored. Thus, the Mod Elections forum was created in June 2006 to hold the first Project Team elections.
The forum fell out of use and was subsequently hidden from view, the following moderator or Project Team elections were held in Announcements. It was returned to regular use in October 2009, and held its first moderator elections later in November. It has remained in regular use ever since, all official elections are now held in this forum.
