Quite. But remodding anybody posting in this thread is not worth it.
A couple of the newest mods can stay, like Tashie. And Jackhammer can be remodded after his exams. The only thing experience is really required for is cheater-catching, and Germatron applied to be a mod and could cover that without having been a mod for such a long time than the current problems don't affect him at all.

i can't decide what's funnier; that the most decorated list is full of people from the meta abuse wild west of em 1.0, or that if you removed the players that won during that time period you'd be left with atikur and matt12

but if the mod team did restart we would need an admin who is ready to commit to it and not forced upon or else we'd be at the same exact spot when they step down in 3 months.

make a greatest hits mod team, including myself, retti, aesop, and other classic mods.
3-4 vets is way too much. All you need is two good admins and the leftover mods.
However the thing is, although I like the idea in principle, I don't think it would end up where it should at all. It's very easy for it to backfire

i think what sucks about this overall is that none of this will be implemented due to lucid being a bit stubborn in his ways
there also needs to be a coder or someone who can handle ordeals such as this when lucid isn't around, because admins are really only built as of right now to babysit the mods
the problems will not be solved until the mod team is rebuilt from the ground up, because right now jasper is building on top of a team that vancy left with way too many problems.

She didn't filter me at all. There was essentially zero difference between Sachy's adminship and my adminship because she was a great moderator but she didn't lead. I did.

I played mafia with gennehfar and I actually like her a lot and I thought she was really good, and think she should definitely stay

the only mod who i've noticed doing flagrantly awful things since i've come back is hima, but to be fair i'm not actually checking up on what they do at all
Restart is good, it's kinda like what I did only I restarted with experienced mods and slowly added newer people once things were in motion (almost all 5 of the people I added the first day I became admin quit within 2 months anyway). It's easier to develop good habits as a mod if you're around experienced people who exhibit those habits as opposed to falling into bad patterns on your own.
Also, reports have to get done and having experienced people to help with feedback and check is critical in the startup.
i think demodding most of the current mods and replacing them with new ones is a good idea, but the site would be complete garbage for the duration of time it would take to replace the mods, so it isn't practical.
and that's not even an affront to the current mod team, it's just that the system needs a restart and they just so happen to be the ones around when it needs to happen
Nikos told me straight up that he was expecting me to lead from the get-go, when I had expected going into it that I would be playing second fiddle.
The timing worked out really poor for the guy, just with how he ended up getting a boatload more work right when he became admin after asking to mod for two months prior.

agreed, with the addendum that you could absolutely convince 3 or 4 of those vets to moderate for a month while everyone gets their feet wet, to ease the transition period

90% of what Sachy did as admin was me on her account, Steven, and given how inactive you were at that time and how wrong you seem to be remembering it, I'd say your opinion is pretty poor.

you mean that he didn't because PE had already built up a community respect? me too
