A Proposal.

[Coldplay]

Now, I realise this is quite an extreme proposal, but at least it will settle once and for all the debate about moderators.

What I propose, is that for a full week, all the moderators become normal members / do not do any moderation, because quite frankly I'm getting pissed off with people not realising the kind of work they do.

Obviously this is just an experiment, so people will finally realise how hard it would be to use the forum without sufficient moderation.

And then maybe this will get the moderators the recognition and praise that they deserve (see my resignation thread)

Cheers for reading,
Sam.

I would be well up for that, but imagine the sort of stuff that would go on!

[Coldplay]

That would be my point exactly

looool bad idea
people fighting
scripters etc...

[Slowpoke]

Scripters? You don't have to worry about that HBK, you can't script on a forum.

[Heart Break Kid]

thats not the point
and what about malicious codes...?

[Slowpoke]

I know, there could be bullying, posting of porn, hacking accounts and all the autoban hackers like Qamp, Dlox could come back and start causing trouble. It would be really cool to see what would happen and how everyone got on without moderators but imagine the clean-up afterwards.

I voted no... Imagine the carnage! I don't even think there's justification for it, it's not like the majority have said "Moderators do absolutely nothing."

Moderators are too strict, remember?

Obviously there would still be admins and stuff to deal with that, and Smods. They just wouldn't deal with the majority of stuff.

Obviously there would need to be some moderation, but you could maybe... relax the rules abit for a week and make them less strict.
