<h3>We should not <em>need</em> to get more people with more rights.</h3>

<p>The rights for gold tag badges originates from an idea that came from <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/230865/increase-close-vote-weight-for-gold-tag-badge-holders">StackOverflow</a>. That site has currently 80 times more questions per day (6.6k vs 79 q/day) with a moderator team that is only four times larger (28 vs 7).</p>

<p>On Cross-validated we should be able to manage the moderation of questions sufficiently without technological solutions (changing the website). If it takes too long for questions to pass trough review queues then 'to give certain people more power' would be more like a work-around, rather than a direct solution. In principle we should aim to have consensus decisions rather than a few judges.</p>
