What if moderators were elected?

First of all maybe they are. I actually do not know how moderators are selected. It might be fun to be a moderator. Seems like it could be time consuming. Anyway…
What if moderators were elected? Say every two years, like a district rep to Congress.
Would the “atmosphere” on Fluther change as the moderators changed.
Seems like it would.
Some moderators would be conservative and make sure that what makes Fluther fun and successful continues to apply to the site. Others would be strict, and make vigorous spelling and grammar criticisms, demanding edits on questions right and left, savagely moderating responses. Others would be liberal and allow people to say about anything even if it made the site unpleasant. Others would be like enabling parents, never correcting or editing anything at all. Moderator candidates could campaign for the position.
What kind of moderator would you be?
Anyway, what if moderators were elected?
Should they be elected?
