^ This is an amusing remark, but maybe there's a message in the fact that this stupid topic pops up every other month! Although de-modding people who no longer contribute is not an urgent issue, there are now a few of us who feel it should be attended to.

One of my motives for requesting it is out of a sense of tidy-mindedness. I know it's not the most visited page on MB, but this page should be a current list and not just some out-dated reminder of who used to be active here:-

Also, I'd beg to differ that the current amount of mods is sufficient. Or maybe it would be if you guys put some more work into it...
^ It rankles in my democratic heart that however much regular posters may contribute here, there are others who are accorded greater privileges even though they post nothing at all. Here's a recent photo of a particularly heated debate in the mod cave, which bears an uncanny resemblance to England's House of Lords:-



At least, to the credit of the inactive mods, we don't have to pay them a salary for sleeping on the job.
