I think we're talking about this too much if it goes on for more than another day or two.

my general feeling is this:
- 1 mod for every board, 2 for the big ones (CE&P, Fashion, ML, MM come to mind)
- 3 global mods who don't have their own boards but can be paged when mods are AWK and something needs done STAT
- global mods could be substitute mods on low-traffic boards as needed, for a big board I'd get a reg to temp
- deletes limited to illegal/obscene (dead baby pics, porn, etc) content and personal info
- locks only for crazy flame wars and the like

Other than that we're all grown ass people, we should be able to define board-by-board what the tone is as posting habits develop over here.

I would suggest that if there are reports about really bad behavior, then the board's mod needs to investigate and if it's something like what apparently happened on ML, drop a note on the Mod Board that it's been checked and it's cool. Or fixed.

I agree with all of this.

I'm also puzzled by the earlier suggestions that the mod board should be made public. I think it will create more problems than it's worth, and honestly, I don't really understand why anyone would care enough to want to read it anyway.
