If a recent ban or block has an influence on a user's eligibility as a forum moderator, it'd be better to use common sense rather than setting a strict requirement about recent bans/blocks.

For number of supports I'd say 10 or 15. I was thinking exactly this. But if we're using common sense, wouldn't common sense usually dictate the voter to not support a person who had been blocked/banned recently? It all depends. But if common sense tells you that a person is incapable of moderating forums based on their recent chat activity, yes, oppose them. But if their recent chat activity wouldn't impact their moderating ability, then they'd be a fine candidate for forum moderator. The problem is that their recent chat ban will completely disallow any candidate, good or bad, who has been banned recently. Actually going to change because of this. You're right, it's still up to the people to decide if they'd be a good fit.
