Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 871729, member: 230"] Ghost thread is a suggestion I like. Eliminates clutter without censorship and it sounds like Ghost Busters. Aside from preservation of good manners, that are requisite for civil discussion, there is little need for moderators. Each poster can make his own decision about what to read without someone above deciding/mandating. The only area I want moderators to be more active in is to deal with the few posters that are predictably angry and hostile in defense of their position. Adjectives like 'idiot' and 'moron' are a good tip-off. I am more concerned about too much expansion of the forum rather than shrinkage. If the forum gets too many posters it will become a fast moving ticker tape rather than a normal flowing discussion. It is inevitable that some long-term posters will leave. That does not mean that there should be more moderator control. Sometimes its best to leave well enough alone. [/QUOTE]
