I'm not saying I agree with all of the actions of the current moderators. I think some situations could certainly have been handled better, and I hope that the moderation team will move forward with the lessons of those situations and their outcomes in mind. But I don't think that the Devs will likely appoint some random player who only just joined, and I certainly don't think the community should be the ones selecting who moderates the community.
