I guess this is a question more directed at the mods than anyone else. Have you ever had to "fire" anyone from their mod position?

At least one mod has been fired in the past, if I remember correctly. I myself haven’t had to fire anyone, but I have asked a few people to step down from the mod team. Some weren’t modding often enough (life got too busy), some just weren’t suited to the position.

Delicately stated, @augustlan!

Is it not asking someone to step down a way to fire them? Specially if some just weren’t suited to the position. What is the difference? Some would say it is nicer to ask them to step down as opposed to fire them. But I think it is possible to fire someone in a nice and polite way, or ask them to step down in a harsh way. At the end of the day, you are asking them to leave the position.

@Yeahright As I said, @augustlan was stating things delicately. You say it like that, and you don’t actually have to fire someone. But as you see so clearly, it’s the same thing.

@wundayatta I understand. Thank you for clarifying.
