    Mod2: First we'll mess with member X then we'll ban him.

    Mod1: Yeah, lets do that! This is our site now! HHAHAHAHAH!
    I fully understand this is *not* how it would be. That is pretty much silly (although i have seen it happen other places). I know ahead of time THIS group of people are different than most. We, as a group, are a little more self policing than most.

    I was just saying a restricted mod forum, imo, isn't the best option.

    What restrictions though? The site would be the same except for the hissy fits and personal attacks. I think stuff like, "That opinion is stupid" is okay. It's the, "Your a Fucking Idiot!" that needs to end. I think stuff like boobies and curse words should stay. Just get rid of the immature squabbling.

    Again, my opinion. Whichever way Spec or the rest of the members want to go. It's fine with me. Just offering up a possible suggestion.

    Mophead has a point. A private mods forum could breed paranoia on the outside and cronyism on the inside. Anything that has to be said can be said right to the user in the thread after the offending post.
    That said, having mods at all has legal implications. The admin is legally reponsible for their actions, so choose mods wisely if at all.

    The community vote 'warn' system would get around this and I think that's what spec had in mind.

    Well, If anyone is that paranoid the last place they should probably be is the internet. As I said before, no one would even know if it existed. For all we know there may be a "Super Best Friends" forum already in place on PL. I haven't been invited yet! In my 9 years on Mshop, I have never seen a hint of cronyism on the moderator end of the site.

    As for the legal implications involved with having moderators. That can be solved with a paragraph in terms and conditions.

    Here Here !!

    A day without Boobies is like a day without sunshine.

    But I think you guys are over analyzing the whole situation here and getting bogged down in the intricacies of site management (which has been pretty well managed so far).

    If we start to get an increase in spammers then a mod or two would be sufficient to curb their activities.
    Otherwise Spec can wander silently amongst us with his clue by Four swinging gently by his side as a reminder to all who even think of disrupting the harmony of our sleepy little backwater on t'internet.

    Same as it ever was.........

    More seriously, I think our esteemed Admin has handled things exceptionally well so far. Why not continue as we are until it *really* becomes necessary to have Mod's or some other form of whatever it is we need?

    Being the ever adversarial counterpoint in the mix i would like to offer an opinion if i may.

    Now this opinion may not be popular and sound a little extreme, but what you are talking about could very easily get misused and misunderstood.

    Ideas should NEVER be policed. The rules and the methods of enforcement should be in place to protect free thinkers who may often disagree with the status quo. Now i understand if those disagreeable parties go overboard and start personal attacks and trolling for fights.

    The reason I bring this is not to accuse nor assume anything, but rather to advocate for those that may have new and interesting ideas that would otherwise be seen as blasphemy. As Huxley said: 'It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.'
