"I just love the fact that everyone who complains about there being too many mods has no logical reason to back it up.".

What if I told you that all these mods...

...make newbies think that getting the job is easy? In my opinion, f I were a newbie, and saw all these mods, I would immediately think "Hey, where do I ask?"...

...make chat seem a bit... boring? Right now, there's almost no-one anymore to warn, kick, or ban. With all these mods, I find little point in staying on, knowing that there are half-a-dozen of my colleagues who can cover for me. I originally found CM as an exciting job, but now...?

...may not be right for us in the end? Originally, CMs were originally promoted by admins in a long process, and were constantly watched by them. It was a rigorous process. But now, all the users need are a number of votes, and the admins will promote 'em. Sure, they can veto the decision, but now it's a decision of a couple of minutes, not months.
