I believe you misunderstood my earlier statement that started this bit of the conversation: To remove the entire team is ridiculous. Is that where the confusion lies? I'm sorry for not making myself completely clear. I would also like to point this out: Knowing the responsibility and exercising it are two completely different things. That's like getting a puppy and not taking care of it to the best of you abilities. I agree with you, some moderators should be demoted and if you know who they are (I'm addressing the admins when I say this sentence) then instead of debating over something that everyone agrees on, please just do it. I would also like to say that the idea presented was set to an extreme level so that you could tweak it. Do we expect our ideas to be taken as they are? Probably not, at least I don't. However I do expect something to be taken from it. Why don't you quiz the users on how your moderators acted. Set a rubric, a set of standards, so that after reviewing how many good or bad votes a moderator gets you can determine if that moderator should be demoted.

Let's say the set percentage of bad votes for demoting a moderator is 50%. if they reach that percentage of bad votes or lower, then demote them. Do you see how this can work? It involves everyone and nobody is 'an elitist'.
