I think the real question here is; “Are moderators accountable to the community, or only to CZ?”

I reworded it that way because if moderators are accountable to the community then yes impeachment would be a viable and likely way to deal with some of the perceived actions of the new moderators. However, this game and these forums are not a true democracy as the Crotch Zombie staff have final say in each situation. While they are semi-decent administrators in that they serve the community and listen to the will of the people, ultimately any action must be approved by the. As such, impeachment is unlikely.

I support the concept of moderators being held accountable to the community, however given that the community can be so easily led by mob mentality to vote one way or another I prefer having a governing body to ensure that doesn’t happen.

I completely, wholeheartedly agree.

It’s not a good idea to let the community impeach a mod, especially because mob mentality IS so prevalent in online communities. All it takes is one bad decision for someone to lose credibility with the users forever, regardless of how good a mod that player has been since then.

I would say that CZ should monitor the players’ sentiment on each moderator, but under no cirgreat timesstances allow them to replace CZ as the decision-makers in de-modding someone.
