I was thinking the automoderator could weigh users based on their time on the boards and upvotes for posts/threads they've taken part in.
It's not perfect but it will mean those looking to bork the boards will have to put more effort in and hard work puts off anyone when they're no returns on it.
You are one of the most active users on here, and your hot button of calling people "ConPro spammers" is well-known. Have you considered that just because you don't recognize a username doesn't mean they don't recognize you? Because of how forums work, any active, consistent commenter will be read and recognized by more people than they regularly read and recognize in turn.
I think they're raising reasonable concerns, given the things you sometimes spin out over. Your inability to understand this criticism as anything other than a brigade of people who have no investment in the forum hating you personally, rather than taking issue with things you've said and what you think should happen to a space they participate in, only underscores their point.
I'm not against you on being put forward here. I'm just saying that new mods inevitably cause additional friction and any way to reduce that pressure is welcomed, particularly if it's automated and doesn't have ego involved.

New mods generally always come with new reasons to hate on mods.
I think if the load can be taken by automoderation it stops power being abused by those seeking it in the first place.
