Frankly seems a bit overkill. What are people so afraid of that 9 moderators are needed? Is being a mod very time/content intense where a few could not do the job? Maybe we should have the option of choosing which mod we want for each post?

It's not that people are afraid of any content and so they want 9 mods to regulate what's being posted, it's that many here consider the recent actions of a single mod to be overbearing and unnecessary, and so wanted more mods to be able to rein the one mod in.

Many of the mods on this sub are inactive.

The way I understand it, it's not "people" who appoint mods. It's mods (or, in this case, mod) who appoint mods. Also, not all of the mods are people.

I'm also not getting the impression that anyone is scared of anything.

People just want the sub to go back to being a MA sub rather than continue to be a constantly censored echo chamber for the one dude with access to the control switches.

There’s more mods because the one active one we had was banning people for having opinions people disagreed with. More mods means there’s less of a chance one goes rogue and drives everyone away.

Unless they're all just enforcing each other.

This new "Mod Team" doesn't find discussion about this subreddit appropriate for this subreddit. 🤷🏻
