Most of our current mods have never done anything to deserve getting demoted, and there's no reason to demote them for a reason as trivial as there being 'too many mods'. Those 'extra' mods aren't hurting anyone, and if you're so OCD that you keep having to bring up demoting good moderators for nothing, you need to get a life. Furthermore, I and other older mods were promoted in a time when getting moderator rights was difficult, and you actually had to prove to the admins that you'd do good at the job. These days, getting mod rights is nothing but a popularity contest; the users whom everyone likes get the supports, while the people who just aren't that popular get opposed. If we decide to do this, we should also revote on all patrollers and admins. That's the only way it'd be fair. But some of the people who got elected back then have to now adjust to all these rules, and things that have been happening the past 6 months or so. It seems that this place is getting out of gear on chat since last year, or longer. (more newbies) I don't mind change, but you have to be able to know that if something changes, to move with it. I guess I'm saying that some of the mods who got their jobs when you did, are now in a freasher community. Thus the people who saw you fit then, and the people who don't now, are oldies and newies. And the latter are dying off.
