My god, it seems like demoting for any reason other than "they're doing a crappy job" is a foreign concept to so many of you guys. But if the plan is to merely winnow the team, then what is the standard by which unneeded mods are judged? Are we supposed to haphazardly demote mods, like picking their names from a hat? There is absolutely an undercurrent here that there are mods who aren't up to snuff, and that would be in play in the redone RfRs. People are not going to vote for the demotion of several mods simply because there are "too many." There would be a specific targeting of mods that people think aren't doing their job well in this process of size management. So of course this is about mod performance. There are a lot of CMs that simply don't care and don't wish to moderate chat. It's silly to leave them with rights when we have so many CMs. The admins can't really demote them though cause they don't frequently break policy. So, once again, this is about mod performance, not just a matter of "too many mods." If they don't care as much as you purport, why haven't they stepped down? That seems more graceful than a whole load of personally charged demotion votes. It certainly is more graceful.

But some people don't want to lose the star next to their name simply because they enjoy having it there. I'm pretty sure this could qualify as "poor mod performance" if you refuse to do anything but just like your star. I haven't seen anyone refuse to do anything but want to keep their stars; some people are inactive or AFK on chat a lot, but if you consider that EED still has his admin rights and he is hardly ever here at all, I really do not think it is adequate to just demote people based on that.
