Is It Time For Moderators?

[Blake]

I believe in the current status quo that allows each thread starter to impose rules and moderate their own thread.

 

If no such rules are imposed by the thread starter, then I prefer an organic approach and just let the thread evolve or devolve without moderation (except by Chris when things get too out of hand). 

 

I would also like to see Chris putting members on "time out" for a week as an intermediate step to banning if they continually exhibit exceptionally obnoxious or spastic behavior (i.e. opening multiple new threads in a day and responding to their own posts ad nauseam).

But as far as I can tell, the OP can't really moderate. Can an OP independently remove any posts he feels are off topic or nasty? Seems like "rules" set by OP's are often ignored, whether the OP likes it or not.

 

Good point.  The moderation is only informal and more often than not, the OP's reminders are ignored.

It is also a proud subjectivist post,  indicating that it's only about what  you hear
