26 - including Jordan, Duke, Der Alta (Admins) and MisterWeary and IŒman (normal Moderators, with control over the WRS and TT forums respectively).
A couple of staff have been demodded to my knowledge, as they ran out of time to be here. I don't recall if anyone's been "disciplined".

Out of those 26, a fair number (about half) are no longer actively moderating. The moderator names assigned to each forum have not been updated recently and do not reflect the current staff. Most have voluntarily surrendered their mod powers when it became clear they would not have time to use them regularly. Jordan is reluctant to demote anyone for simply being busy elsewhere, and even those who have voluntarily surrendered their powers retain access to the mods board, for communication.
One moderator was disciplined in conjunction with the April Fools fiasco from several years ago, but that's the only instance in my knowledge. We don't expect that issue to arise again.

Wasn't there also that BMW POWER (?) mod from a long time ago who went on a rampage deleting his and other's posts?

No, Der Alta and I were promoted to Admin at exactly the same time, February 2005. That was 2 years to the day after I was made a mod/supermod (Feb 2003), which was about 10 months after I joined (April 2002). Sage was made a mod/supermod about a week before I was. I'm not sure when DA originally joined the staff, but it was right about that same time frame, within a week or two one way or t'other.

yes, there was a mod that was banned a long time ago, for the reasons posted above. He took it upon himself to clean out some posters and posts that were not agreeable with him.
There was a good amount of fallout from that, and Jordan has been very selective with who gets the nod since then.
I was nodded after Duke, to become a Mod. Can't recall the exact dates though.

I guess so...Are you referring to the jokes?...
What is the difference between an administrator and a moderator??
And what does IMO mean??

Admins can create new/delete sub boards and modify the forum tree; we can promote/demote moderators, and a few other items related to custom user abilities. I will note that DA and I are really just admins to help Jordan out with the heavy lifting and day to day stuff - the overall direction and organization of the site is 100% Jordan.

New mods are created whenever there is a gap. When I was made mod, it was because the GT4 forum needed modding, and me and TM were made moderators of that one forum (GT4 forum and sub-forums were the only places we could mod), and then becoming super mods later on (super mods can mod in any forum).
You also need cover 24/7, and most of the active mods at that time were in the US, so there were gaps in coverage. I don't think it was coincidence that the next 4 mods (TM, Scaff, Famine and myself) are all Brits.
