We engaged a CM back in August when the original topic was created. We were told that name changes are a one time thing and that it was a bit early in the beta to request such a change. Based on that, we'd hoped that the previousprevious topic would come up with either clear indication of what the community wanted or a stepping stone of where we should go next, before we went back to formally request the name change.

Since we didn't get that indication and we're six weeks later, let's see if we can clear up the problems we had initially. We'll create a community wiki question a little later to assist in voting, but we may be able to flesh out some details here first.

With such a name change, we need to explain why "Moderators" is bad and why the suggested name is perfect. I think we have a nice list for the first part of the question. The second part is what needs some fleshing out.

Looking through this topic and the previous one, it seems we have three clear choices. Do any of these three fit what we want in a way that doesn't restrict our "apparent scope" (to borrow Monica's phrase)?
