The problem with the mods isn't that they aren't doing their jobs; they are, and they're doing a great job. The problem is that there isn't much for them to do nowadays, which people interpret as them being lazy and not doing what they're supposed to. I haven't seen a member break any really serious rules in a long time, or really seen much happen that requires moderator attention. The main problem is that, when a problem does occur, it just so happens to occur during a time when no mods are around to solve it. That's not the fault of the mods, they have lives and a right to live them however they choose. You're never gonna get a mod who is available 24/7. The solution is to have more mods. As of right now, there are only 3 real mods on this site, and they all live in vastly different timezones. Oftentimes, while one is at school/work, another is in bed, or two of them are. It's hard for there to be at least one online at all times. A community this size needs at least 5, maybe 4, but 5 is a safe low point. We can't expect such a small team to be here 24/7, that's ridiculous. I think, with one or two more mods, a lot of problems could be solved. Keep the ones we have, because they do their jobs well, and add 1 or 2 more to help.
Just my two cents. I don't know the details of what happened earlier, but I'm speaking more in general terms.
