Veritas Thanks But No

Veritas i also don't like moderator thing.

RVP, it's not moderating as in "moderating." The only thing mods can do is delete posts. For the purposes of unwanted spam, porn etc. I can't maintain a forum by myself with eyes everywhere for every single post. I believe in democracy and equity and a member driven forum. I've specifically ensured there's no editing, no banning, no censuring, no visible IP to anyone, utmost privacy to all, even I can't see.

I know this is a very sensitive issue but I can trust all the moderators because we've been through unjust moderation, and trust you wouldn't get offended by particular posts enough to be deleting other posts based on content. Let's give this moderation thing a go RVP.

Okay...sounds sensible.

Welcome TBD! 

Exactly my point. Lots of spam, porn etc. can lead to blacklisting. This forum will no doubt experience attacks. One person can't defend all attacks. Experienced bloggers, respected bloggers, I've known you guys for a decade or so and trust your protection, and know you'll let everyone's input freely flow regardless of whether they're offensive.

Thanks RVP.

Veri,

A very noble idea no doubt, however allowing for thread deletion will skew the forum archive as some will seek to cleanse their previous utterances in order to fit the context of their current position/narrative. 

Heck I've already noticed one response has gone poof!

Indeed. Thread deletion should be reserved only for the site owner herself.
