How do the mod's know a user's gender/race/orientation? If how they choose mod's is like what Jacks said earlier, then it would be sort of sad if they chose someone because they knew this user was a woman and think she would be an adequate mod but passed over someone who they thought more highly of and have it turn out that that user was also a female. Wow, that a crappy sentence. My apologies.
Also, why is the direction moving towards looking for a woman mod when the OP was asking for diversity? Why isn't there any discussion on finding a non-white/ethnic or a gay mod? I don't know of any direct numbers but if I had to speculate, I would think that non-white or possibly the gay users on this forum would out number the women users. Should that be taken into account? The size of a group?
