Let me go a bit more into detail for my reason to oppose. It is highly illogical and nonsensical to demote moderators who have done nothing wrong. 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.
