Of course! And here, and a lot of other boards as well. What would anyone expect? It's not very easy to identify those who: (a) will do a good job; and (b) are willing to do it. Mistakes are inevitable; even good mods often start out with a bumpy ride in the beginning. Not to mention that they can never please all the members no matter what they do. But hopefully any problems are self-correcting. It's in the owners' self interest to monitor and as needed either provide corrective guidance or "fire" those who turn out to be poorly suited for the job. (If you have an absentee owner and power struggles among the staff, though . . . .) There are a lot more ex-mods than current mods (or dead mods).
And at the end of the day, even if the mods do a mediocre or poor job, it's not that big a deal. This is just a SJMB.
