There are some good reasons for controlling the number of GM's and seers to just what is required to run the shard. It's easy to get in each other's way and step on each other's toes if there are too many. While WOD has always had good fortune, there is also a security issue involved- and a corrupted or out-of-control admin could do a lot of harm. There are players who love to try to catch admin's contradicting each other. In addition, it is pretty easy to find people who "think" they want to be a GM or seer from a distance--- but few who can and will actually do the job well for any period of time.
Really, it is just common sense that you have enough admin and no more.
I don't quite understand why someone would call for more GM's because they heard rumors that "someone" was having problems "sometime." It would be pretty lame to use that kind of information as the basis for staffing the shard.
