No.
First of all, you guys don't know why they are offline. hell, I usually take a five week vacaction each year. It's my one vacation and I inted to enjoy it. In those five weeks I don't have access to the internet, because I'm somewhere in a cave, on top a mountain or just getting drunk. My point is, I'm not online, at all. So I can't be a moderator because I went on vacation?
Two, moderating isn't about how often you are online, it's about being trusted enough.
Welcome to the internet. A place that, unless you diss Mass Effect and get your book spammed with bad reviews on Amazon or getting a video of you enacting your favorite scene from Star Wars, won't hurt you.
As long as you have the wonderful ability to just "ignore" or just hit the spam report button, things will get solved eventually.
Already there are times when moderators are in each other's way (and then i don't mean the line in front of Stosh's mom's bedroom), but on the forum. Mods try to ban the same person at the same time and the banhammer starts to act funny.
You can cry all you want about having more moderators or having the inactive ones removed, but it won't solve the core issue.
Not too long ago I asked for new mods as well. Because I felt there weren't enough? Not really, I can see us having one extra mod, perhaps even two. But the reason I asked for more was because I was about to quit as a moderator myself, and thought it would perhaps help if we had a replacement, especially since I don't see anything too wrong with adding maybe an extra one.
But for removing a moderator because they are inactive? No, that's not your call, you don't know why they are inactive.
