I bought this up in chat earlier. It went something along the lines of:
- Me: Why are there only 3 positions? Surely we want more than we have now.
- Marco: Current mods aren't that active but I cope.
- Me: True, you are awesome.
- Marco: If we had 3 active mods, it would be easy.
- Me: True
On reflection we do only need a few but for it to be easy as we grow, we need two or three on all the time. I do think five is a much healthier number but we have at least a dozen people who are trustworthy enough to have the designation... So why not?
I'm serious. Adding more only makes the job easier.
