@Doorknob That post could be equally interpreted as being directed at the community rather than the actual guys with diamonds. The community is our biggest moderator.
P&CG is over 3 years old now. I hope one day it gets out of beta, I have a lot of fun here... even though I mostly pose questions rather than answering them myself.
Anyway, I checked the recent posting activity of our moderators, and... it was not great, both in the main site and in meta. @Doork...
@Doorknob I would run for Election, but beta sites don't work like that. and I don't know if the wife would like me spending all day with my head in clouds.
@Malachi Two things, 1) I agree with @TheDoctor, @Doorknob should be a mod. 2) Having a discussion about the pros and cons is not the same as doing it immediately
And like I said, I invite everyone including the current mods to tell me that my perceived lack of activity by the mods is incorrect
@TheDoctor (and @durron597) Thanks :) I'm still not entirely sure I'd feel good replacing our current mods, since they're all pretty pleasant, but if one of them feels good handing his/her diamond to me I'd gladly oblige
I have a few things that I might be able to weigh in on:
The community has gotten drastically better at self-moderation over the past few months or so. I'm not the only one who deletevotes anymore, and we're getting bad things closed much more quickly recently.
As @Chris mentioned in that post ...
@Rusher No, really, what are you talking about? :P
I think every single time there has been kill-with-fire question or answer and I've been in this chat, @Doorknob has posted about it here before I even saw it.
@Doorknob Since you asked twice - obviously my statement about you ninja whacking Chris Jester-Young the moment talks come up about you being a new mod was sarcasm
Don't you hate when you were working for hours on a puzzle with no answers yet, but just 5 minutes before you, someone else answers, and guess what, their code is shorter

@m.buettner I've been meaning to say this for a long time: It appears we've reached a consensus (see top voted answer). Now we're going to figure out what to do. Assuming we are going to kill the tag, we're going to need to plan lots of things and make a meta post about this. I've been meaning to discuss this in this room for a little bit now
And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I Wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and Guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and He started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down Yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, Sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."
