Towards the user that proposed this, there are three other reasons (I think). First reason: They are unused. The only users that have applied on there is Callie, myself, Mike, and Ultimate. Reason two: Users might be afraid to make an application. Third reason: There are good users on here who meet the editing prereqs, but they do not meet the time prereq (the time period that a user, who is applying, must meet before applying.) But how does keeping the page up CAUSE HARM? Being rarely used is no reason to take them down. It maintains the opportunity for those who do use the page, even if that group is a minority.

If someone becomes a mod by means of current authorities noticing them and offering them the opportunity, great. This option should still exist for those members having trouble getting noticed, despite meeting all requisites for the position.
