I've been a member of a number of unmoderated or poorly moderated boards in the past, so I know the horrors that can evolve when people are completely left to their own devices. I've also been a member of a couple of over-moderated boards, and know the 'buzzkill' that can come from Big Brother watchfullness. I strive to hit somewhere inbetween... less like a big brother or an absentee parent... more like a favorite uncle who knows three places where you can hide a body should the occasion ever arise.
I'd like to peacefully settle any disputes that may get out of hand before we have to start waving around such terrible words as "delete", "ban", "ban for life", "turn into a newt", and so on. So, if you see things are getting out of hand, or worry that something bad may be forming on the horizon, drop me a line before things go crazy so that I might calm things down.
