Quote:So some mods let things go, and others don't.
I'm going to briefly step out of my wise-ass role for a moment, El. I'm a veteran of a lot of boards and have seen quite a few collapse in chaos when there is a split between the admins or mods or whatever, so you guys have to be in agreement among yourselves. Otherwise, you are literally inviting people to take sides and that never works out well. Likewise, I have seen boards collapse when a new mod wanted to institute all sorts of "rules." I've also seen boards collapse when the mods couldn't be bothered doing their jobs at all so its a fine line. This is the best atheist board I've been on. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It sounds as if you already have the tools and inclination to handle serious outbreaks. Putting things in writing is not always for the best. As the late US Supreme Court Justice Potter Steward said about pornography: "I can't define it but I know it when I see it."
Your collective judgment is probably good enough to know when to act and when not to.
Okay. Wise-Ass hat back on.
