  • more mods -Just brought in three more.
  • Make trolling and derailing a suspendable offense -Did this too. And suspended two for it already.
  • Make harassment a bannable offense -Always has been.
  • make acer a mod _ No.
  • Give all mods jurisdiction over off topic We have 2 mods, 3 senior mods, and 3 reps here. Plus the other mods keep an eye and give a heads up when stuff goes down. I think that is plenty.

I bet if OT were modless for 24 hours everything would be fine. I'm not joking. Aside from spambots and CCC...we do a pretty good job of policing ourselves. There is the occasional rude comment that crosses the line, but I think everyone is overreacting.

Would you green and blue and purple people be willing to open another invite-only section of the forum that was unmoderated for 24 hours to prove me wrong?
We've tried this before, many times. It's called "having a life" and whenever all the staff dares to do so at one time, for anything longer than an hour or two, we come back to find flames, hysteria, and spray paint on the walls. The latest incident of this was about 2-3 days ago.
