Oy, the proletariat loves me! I don't know from where this sudden negative PR has come, but I assure it's all Unne's fault.

So if you come to the board late, but contribute tons more than any current RM for example, then you're just screwed because you didn't show up early enough? Seems a bit elitist. I am in favor of capping it though. And in favor of ditching RMs who never come here any longer. Getting rid of the "being a former Mod = auto-RM" rule might help clear a bunch out. Maybe turn it into 12 members, but the 12 is subject to change over time. If you don't mind hurting people's feelings by replacing them.

Pfft, you don't have to be popular to be an RM. You just have to be liked by the staff.

And I agree with Unne about everything he said, except that I know we plan at this point to demote RMs and replace them to maintain the cap, though I know I wouldn't be against altering the cap if all the RMs at that time happen to still be active.

I'm also in favor of a "Retired Staff" or "Former Staff" or something title. I mean, why not? It's like a WWII veteran license plate.

We were fine for years without any kind of recognized member. I thought it was stupid when it was introduced, and it looks ugly anyway. Don't even call me jealous, because if I want people to recognize me, I can do it myself.

We tried to recognize you after you, you know, tragically died, but we couldn't find any dental records.

I'm against the entire notion to begin with, so anything that institutes a cap or a reduction in numbers is acceptable to me.
