Those who see it working positively remain moderators and continue to function under this system, and those who don't have departed.
I do think that this is constructive criticism, whether or not those to whom it applies agree or are interested in hearing it, so I would hate for this to be taken the wrong way and to be used to detract from yet another thread addressing problems deeply rooted in this forum's structure.

I don't think we can really state 100% that the current moderators "See that working positively" - Every mod and ex-mod I've spoken to about this has told me the same thing regards moderation consensus - There isn't much of it to speak of when it comes to the longer term problems or larger issues. Whether that's shared by the mods I haven't spoken to is a mystery.
