Yes, I do believe every forum needs a mod of some sorts. I am currently a moderator on three forums, and they all benefit from moderation.
I have a question after reading a post there are options to Reply , Quote, Contact, Mark Favorite .. and REPORT ABUSE..
Is this a form of Moderator request ?
Hmmm, feels a bit Orwellian, no? There have been two spammers since I joined and everybody jumped all over them right away, so it really seems like a case of no harm done. And as for the regular posters, everybody seems to behave themselves just fine.
As for the older posts, I like reading through those - trying to learn all I can.
Just my two cents.
I agree kas, that's why I made some specific stipulations as to what I feel are the only needs for any sort of moderation. And I can see keeping the status quo as long as there is not a large amount of spamming going on, don't have one problem with that. I too am against a moderator telling us what we can and can't say or talk about, that takes away the fun of the forum and quite frankly, I'd be inclined to leave if that kind of iron fist came down. I was simply throwing in my two cents on the matter.
