Dec 7, 2010 at 23:21 comment added hasen I haven't used SO for several months, but my reputation keeps going up (from my already existing answers), it looks like I'll hit 10k soon. I didn't really do anything special during this period to deserve earning "more trust" than I had before.
Jul 5, 2009 at 22:12 comment added Marc Gravell In terms of "who watches the watchmen?", that is the ♦ moderators... and to pre-empt "who watches the ♦ moderators?"; the ♦ moderator actions are logged, so any abuse is easy to track.
Jun 29, 2009 at 17:27 comment added spoulson The real question is: What do we do about (active) mod count inflation? Maybe mods inactive for 30+ days should be temporarily demoted until they've remained active for a week?
Jun 29, 2009 at 17:02 comment added Oorang Thousands of mods is such a horrible idea I need a flow chart to explain the ways it can go wrong.

Jun 29, 2009 at 13:29 comment added EndangeredMassa Mod I'm sure that the SO team will nix anyone's mod privileges if they abuse them.
Jun 29, 2009 at 13:28 comment added Ólafur Waage There are true moderators that have a much larger access than 3k and 10k mods.

Jun 29, 2009 at 13:27 comment added user95071 Yeah, I'm actually OK w/ large numbers of mods, and this isn't a question you want to answer with premature action. But someday a mod will go completely postal, and someone will assert a need for a "mod of mods". Probably best to wait until then.
