From personal experience, I've noticed that if theres too many mods, the risk of mod wars increase drastically - I've seen forums fall apart because mods couldn't agree on a ruling (especially if a friend was the 'victim' of a mod action) so there are downsides . I needn't mention some of the recent problems that Abandonia had to deal with.

Also, it's common for people to start slacking off when they think they're not really needed. When you think "there's enough mods anyway so I don't need to check up on the site every day" it may have a cascading effect where every mod starts to feel like that. I've seen this happening on many forums as well.

True, I said "needn't have any ill efects", not "won't have any ill efects". Anyway it's possible for many to live in harmony, and I have (current) experience from a forum with _dozens_ of _global_ mods (really). Many are inactive, then someone who's been off for months reappears... The workload doesn't pile up. The first requirement is not appointing people who look like they might possibly be problematic, and the second is oversight for the problematic cases that may arise none the less (which are rare in my experience if the first requirement is met). For the second requirement we have forum admins. :P

The general staff group?

Gee, I feel kinda special now!

[Simoneer]

I'm willing to help with practically anything, as long as it doesn't require me to spend money & keep schedules.

I'm fairly good at proof-reading, by the way. While I may not have the best grammar around here, I can actually even recognize my own mistakes easily!

...Not that I want to join the grammar squad too much.
