1) Every user with CM rights would be put under an RfR as if they were requesting those rights again. (Basically, this would be a request to /keep/ those rights.)

2) The community votes on their request the same way they would for any RfR under the same guidelines (unless we decide to change some things for it).

3) Should the majority of the vote be oppose, then the user will be demoted of their rights.

This would essentially give the community the chance to decide which CM's are effective members of our moderation team and which aren't. The position of chat moderator would be treated much more seriously, rather than simple rights that are handed out to a large handful of users. This would also allow for demoting of inactive CM's who only show up once every 4 weeks to visit or something and would be unaware if we made significant changes in our policies and whatnot. Why not do this with admins too? I think we should, except for a select few that we need to stay in position. What about a few mods that need to stay in position? No, we ought to re-evaluate every CM we have. I meant admins like Alemas who are clearly participative and actively contributive to the good of the wiki. Are you saying that none of our CM's do that? No, not at all. If I thought that none of our CM's were good then I'd be wanting them all demoted, rather than re-evaluated for the purposes of discerning which CM's are using their rights effectively and which aren't necessary.
