It's not really the end of the world if we're understaffed in the mod department; admins can promote temp-mods for the night or whenever this shortage appears when an admin has to leave. This is probably the best way of getting good mods by having people suggest who they want to be a mod (like what Empy did with Spicy). What happens after that is all up to you; you can have the apps process and these users apply and the regulars vote on their app, or that an admin/bureaucrat comes on and asks "How was *insert user name* doing with the mod job?"

If we went in a demoting spree taking into account each moderator's behavior until this day, there'd be a total of one moderator only. And it'd be only one for...quite some time.

Because the people I can see being trusted for permanent moderatorship aren't interested on that role. Not saying names.
