You only moderate one section of the DB and your moderation box is right below the random plant and random idea. If the moderation boxes were on top, one of our admin moderators would have to scroll past our moderation box for the admins, then past the boxes for his 12 sections of the DB just to see the random plant. Zuzu would have to scroll past 6 after the admin box, I would have 5 after that admin box.
Maybe Dave can re-figure it in somewhere else but real estate is precious at the top.
