I think there's too many moderators. 8 moderators + main 6 staff members is way too many moderators for a site with no more than 255 members (at the moment), whereof just a few still visits this place. I'm not saying that the moderators are doing a bad job, just that a forum with 14 moderators looks kind of... not exciting.

I think it's good that we have so many mods. I noticed that nowadays people don't break a lot of rules. A few months ago when we only had like 5 staff members, there were a lot of people breaking rules. Now we have more mods and the forum is way better. Besides, we can't just fire all of those moderators now.

How much rule breaking there is depends on how old the users are and from which site they come from: there's a lot of 10 +/- year olds who doesn't know how to behave on a forum; advertising on sites with different rules or with young users, like on the Powder Game main site, often leads to spammy and less-knowing members. Also, the fact that there's less rule breaking now than before may have many other reasons than the amount of moderators, like better behaviour, less advertising on random sites and more on trustable sites, and more respect among members. There's a lot of forums out there with no more than 1 moderator per 10 000th member.
Also, lots of moderators may also make the forums seem overtaken by rule breaking, seeing as moderators often are recruted when there's a lot of rule breaking.

I don't want to be fired! Besides, now we have enough until posting our URL on the D-B comment board will work and get more members. And be quiet about 10+/- year olds. I am under 13 and behave fine on this site.

I am under 13 and behave fine on this site. I don't think you quite see the problem. Today the site has been visited my 28 +/- members, whereof 13 of these are members of the staff. That means that nearly 50% of all the active members are moderators. That makes the forums seem like a place filled with trolls, spammer and dumbbutts, doesn't it? It means that it avaregely comes about 1 more moderator each time it comes 1 more active member. Also, I didn't say every single 10 +/- year old were bad. I said "there's a lot of 10 +/- year olds who doesn't know how to behave on a forum", not meaning every 10 year old, not meaning every second 10 year old, but meaning many 10 year olds. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, so sorry if you were.

How so? The number of mods are fine as is.
You shouldn't be complaining about activity; I rarely see YOU here. Also note that many members may not be on at one time, but still active. There are few who are unactive, to be honest. I'm on every day, so you can't say anything about my activity.
There were way too many rulebreakers when there were 5 staff members. You seem to not like this, the fact the forums aren't as bad. I have been here for a while, but that's irrelevant.
Anyway, my point is, again, the number of mods are fine as is. This forum is still fun, you are barely on, and more than half the members here are active(Come on at least once or twice every week or two.) Also worh noting that the more moderators there are, the more clean and organized this forum is. I survey the forums daily, examining. There are barely any rule-breakers, the forums are more organized with more mods, and everyone has a good time.
So, ToxicPaprika(Yes, I know who you are), what else have you to throw at me?
