So now I'm a beta tester. Let's see where this goes.

Whatever you said now didn't make too much sense. Actually, all your words were fighting each other.
My reply to you: I like chicken, it's especially good with rice.
With all due respect I have no idea how you could have not understood what I posted. I mean assuming that you read the quotes that I put in before it. Even if you didn’t read the quotes I summed it all up in the last paragraph. I don’t know what else to tell you man.

The point is we should only have as many mods as we need. No less and no more. (I put less before more for a reason.)No offense, Nedge, but I don't really see the reasoning or logic behind this statement. If you only needed 20 police officers to keep a city from falling into mayhem, but you could reasonably have 30 police officers, which would help the city respond to 911 calls faster, then why not go with 30?
You don't need them, and it can be hard to find 10 people who you trust with a gun and extreme power, so maybe you don't hire them. But it sure wouldn't hurt anything if you could, right?
Here's a quote that I thought was (barely) appropriate at this point and that might be good for a chuckle:
STAN
I need to talk about your flair.
JOANNA
Really? I have 15 buttons on. I, uh....
STAN
Well, ok, 15 is minimum, ok?
JOANNA
Ok.
STAN
Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare
minimum. Well, like Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a
terrific smile.
JOANNA
Ok. Ok, you want me to wear more?
STAN
Look. Joanna.
JOANNA
Yeah.
STAN
People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, ok? They come to Chotchkie's
for the atmosphere and the attitude. That's what the flair's about.
It's about fun.
JOANNA
Ok. So, more then?
STAN
Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare
minimum is enough, then ok. But some people choose to wear more and we
encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?
Well sir, I don’t really see the power of a mod as flair (although I really do only care about the cheeseburger), but I do see it more like the police officer scenario. Would I have more officers on patrol even if I didn’t need them? Not really. I would only want what I could put to good use.
The reasons being:
1) Even if they didn't abuse their power in the slightest, they would have to be managed and looked after (and I can't make more of myself in order to do that).
2) They would just be stepping over each other trying to do the same job.
3) Just like if you were walking down the street and saw a bunch of police officers, it would make even law abiding citizen nervous. It makes you tend to think that something bad is going to happen, even when it isn't.
Imagine if you will, you look out of your window and one police officer is standing outside your door. Okay, no big deal. Now imagine three. See the difference just two officers can make. Maybe this isn’t the same thing but given the analogies handed out so far this is the best I can do to explain myself.
