A vote feels too simple and too easy, there's no actual evidence involved... It just feels wrong. All these people were either painstakingly voted in by either the admins or the users, there were no hasty decisions made here to vote them in, and I don't think hasty decisions should be made in voting them out. This is just an excuse for users to vote to off their fellows without feeling like they're being mean in the process - that's not necessary. Any CMs should welcome criticism, part of their job is using user feedback to improve. And if you have ANY concerns, TELL AN ADMIN so we can keep an eye on that person to see how they are doing their job. We don't need to hide behind little A or B votes here. I don't want to hold a revote because I don't think certain CMs are doing a well enough job, rather I want to hold a revote because I simply believe that we need to thin the number of CMs that we currently have.

And I won't "hide" behind A and B votes. If you want reasons, I'll give you reasons. So we're going to get rid of good CMs simply because we have too many? How does that not turn into a blatant popularity contest? Not all CMs are good, and some CMs perform better than others. And yeah, of course it'll be a popularity contest, unless we allow the administrators to decide who to demote (which is what I personally prefer). As an admin, I don't see a downside to letting as many good users as possible have rights to deal with trolls, rulebreakers ect, so demoting anyone for any reason other than that they aren't doing their job properly feels unnecessary and like a step back. And if someone ISN'T doing their job properly, contact an admin. Let us know you have concerns about that person and we will definitely act accordingly.
