Mods are a stable workforce, who hardly get the accolades for the hard work they deserve.. A nail in the coffin to introduce new restrictions.. FT needs new and more mods so that new forums can be introduced and served.. but I'm a newbie, so maybe my opinion is a bit fresh?

Except that the entire process is closed. I've received a number of PMs from loyal and regular posters who have applied to be mods only to be told that "we have enough mods" or that "they aren't suitable to be mods" without any further explanation and yet some mods have 3-4 forums under their remit.
You say stable. Other say stagnant. Tomato, tomahto.
