 * 1) Implement the emotes from my blog.
 * 2) Reduce the number of CMs. Eliminate the inactive ones, basically. We have too many of 'em. Plus, fewer CMs would make the active ones more willing to go on chat and moderate, as they don't go around thinking "There are so many CMs that there must be a few already on chat".
 * 3) Promote Obi to buro.  Seriously, why you don't do it already, is a complete mistery.
 * 4) Get more admins. With only Rio and Obi who are active, we desperately need more in case of a crisis.

Should be it. I'm not sure why demoting inactive mods would help, but otherwise I like your suggestions. So start off with the emotes, they are the easiest to do. Please?

Demoting inactive CMs would...

1. Could you explain that one? How would demoting inactive CMs affect chat at all?
 * 1) Make CMs feel more pressure to get on chat and moderate (increase of activity for existing/active CMs)
 * 2) Make inactive CMs think whether they want their rights back (if they get back on chat and discover they're demoted, they may or not mind about it. If they want 'em back... well, give 'em. If not, leave 'em)
 * 3) Generally clear up rights clutter (having rights given to inactive people is simply horrible from an administrative point of view)

2. Interesting point.

3. I don't think rights clutter is much of an issue. We don't see people trying to ask inactive mods for help.


 * 1) It may actually increase the number of CMs on chat at any given time. That's my theory, anyway.
 * 2) Thanks.
 * 3) Exactly, so why keep 'em as CMs?
