May 5, 2017 at 5:11 comment added Jon Ericson Staff @Narusan: You can see a count of comments and how recently someone commented, but I don't think that's any better an indication of moderator effectiveness. I should also point out there's no reason a fourth moderator couldn't be appointed without removing any of the existing mods. But that won't make the person appointed any more of a leader than they already are. Many good beta sites are lead by users who are not interested in the tedium of being a mod.
May 5, 2017 at 5:00 comment added Narusan That said, participating by asking or answering questions is not at all a responsibility of a diamond moderator. - I wanted to use these figures rather to show why one might get the impression that a moderator lost contact with the Community. I think comments would be a better statistic for this, but sadly I couldn't find numbers on that (maybe my reputation is too low...?)
