LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Petition/Temporarily disable RfCMs

Temporarily Disable RfCMs - This petition's goal is to temporarily disable RfCMs until the current team is not enough to handle the flow of trolls and misbehaviour in chat. Simply stating my purposes here:
 * There's too many. With 46 Chat Moderators (Special:ListUsers, it is important to note not all are active) and more being promoted every week, it's just too much. And we don't need it. There's already usually 5-10 moderators on chat at any given time from my experience, and that's more than enough. We just don't need that many. The more users whose first priority is to have fun and carry on an upbeat conversation, the better chat is. And we don't achieve that with 50 moderators.
 * The moderation is fine! I was banned within seconds of making a joke about Shrek. Doesn't that make you feel safe?
 * I've noticed that most of the people being promoted to the Chat Moderator system are ones that do not have any prior experience and are likely to make unjust or biased decisions, and do not have the knowledge needed to be a good CM. An example (not to be degrading to the user in any fashion), is Alemas not even knowing how to ban me for a custom amount of time. If Ale has been here for two years and doesn't know that, could you imagine what the majority of mods who joined this year do not know?

Please note that this is not meant to be degrading to any current, new, or upcoming moderators. MsD  talk 15:13, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
