Concerns Members Have About Enforcement of Forum Rules

[Seashore]

This thread is an off-shoot of the thread "Cliff High view on Bill Ryans accusations."

I am starting this thread because I sense strong feelings that evidently have been building up over time concerning actions taken by members in authority positions that need to be aired - in an attempt to rectify what may need to be rectified.

I'm going to say something radical. I'm beginning to wonder whether we would be better off without moderators. Just let members handle issues of rudeness themselves.

Functions such as moving threads, changing the titles of threads, and removing pornography could be handled by someone, but rudeness we could handle ourselves.

On the issue of trolls, we could all agree to ignore them.

Maybe this is a dumb idea. But let's have a discussion.
