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.
