Just have Pavel appoint mods. Elections are silly in so small a group.
If someone wants to be mod, he/she/it could go to Pavel and state his/her/its case. Pavel is a fair fellow, and wouldst sure hear out and objectively consider any call for power.

And so, we sink back into the communist regime. If this passes, I for one will be most displeased.

Now THAT would potentially create tyranny.

Thank you for your valuable input.
Oh wait, no, you just called Pavel a communist regime without any defense for your position.

You're the one proposing it, not Alexei. And he didn't mention Pavel.

Well, see, my proposal was to go back to how it once was: have Pavel (the admin, the one who made the forum, the one who's in charge anyway) appoint moderators himself.
Alexei said that would be sinking back into "the communist regime."
Who then but Pavel would Alexei be referring to?

Yeah, but you're the one proposing this idea. You're being the communist. For all we know Alexei might have been referring to you ;D
...or he may have been just implying it abstractly - as a general autocratisation.

"Oh wait, no, you just called Pavel a communist regime without any defense for your position. "
Unlike you or Antid or JeffH, I am not obliged to nor am interested in supporting my opinions.

And how could Alexei have been referring to me when, in the system I proposed, I would have no more power than any one of you? Wow...you're utterly useless. Who is going to believe your statements when you provide none of the reason behind them?

You're proposing to have no elections. That is a step towards autocracy. You voted "yes" (I know I didn't, and I doubt alexei did). Alexei complained that we're slipping into an autocracy. Who's being autocratic/communist here, you who voted "yes," or Alexei who complained about it?
There. That's it. I adopt Alexei's strategy now and refuse to support statements that should be rather obvious. One English period per day is enough fore me, thank you.

You won't believe them, but you can't account for whether others may or may not. Besides, I'm not trying to convince anyone that this is a communist regime. I have better things to do, such as stare at that wall over there. *stares*

Alexei, we both know you've got nothing better to do. You're just afraid to put your logic on the line because you know it's flawed.
Communism is an economic/governmental system in which all resources are pooled under a central government and then distributed equally to the masses. (note that "communism" in the Soviet Union was corrupt)
Autocracy is a government with absolute power held by an individual.
Alexei claimed that my proposed, arguably autocratic plan would result in a "communist regime." I really don't see how my plan is communist.

Don't act like you're stupid. You know what he meant. To most of us, a communist regime signifies an autocratic form of government. If you're confused about the wording, just substitute "autocratic" for communist.

Problem: autocracy and communism are two completely different things. Alexei just through out communism to get a reaction.
Dude, the red scare ended a long time ago.
