I understand your point about administators and moderators, I was not aware fo this and now I see how the Downs work.
Also, I now also understand this idea of people remaining as honorary members in these positions and I respect them.
And also, I very well understand that such change should mean improvement.

And I believe this is where the difference is. Whilst you say that the site does not need more moderation, I personally see no harm whatsoever, and only see certain benefits in the naming of a few (perhaps 1 to 3) new moderators.
But as Bethberry pointed out in hew post, I was wrong to think that things here are that democratic. I also see the reasons why people who invested more time and money should have more to say, but still I am aware of an example (also a Tolkien fan forum) where things are handled democratically, although some should probably get more rights and some less.
