The problem is the more people we have, the blurrier the standards. At a certain number of people we'll reach the situation where pretty much everything goes through, which negates the point of having a mod queue in the first place. It's not personal or a question of "bad 0xCCBA696, no cookie for you", but simply the inevitable laws governing any group or organisation large enough. The only way to avoid that is to be very strict about staying below the critical size. All this, however, is still waiting for albert to show some numbers to meditate upon. No-one's saying you'll be sacked yet, or that you won't be allowed to return once the dreaded real life stops bothering you.

And I'd like to point out it's not merely a theoretical concern, we've already run into instances of mysterious somebodies approving complete shit and being more or less untrackable. And every additional person with approval rights makes it that much harder to hold anyone accountable.
