This idea is not going through. Mods aren't determined solely on battling skill and knowledge; the most important part about being a mod is being capable of making tough decisions, and most of the time, those decisions don't even involve pokemon. Most of those decisions have to do with morals; what's the best way to improve the site? Obviously, this brings a whole lot of complications with itself, and it's those complications that a moderator has to be able to cope with. Battling skill really only plays a small role in being a moderator as far as I am concerned. Of course, we want our mods to be a good example of what we would like our site to be like, but one should really not underestimate the things mods have to do that have absolutely nothing to do with pokemon.
