Remove Aeronaut. He is not a mod stuff.
make an indian mod i say, atleast for their own section since they are the biggest visitors to their site, but have elections for it.
@hinduguy seems like reasonable person
man..thanks.. but you have not seen me trolling yet...
and no I will never swap my god given right to troll, for a man made position..
Actually I disagree. I had the same opinion when he was made a mod becuase of his sometime heavy(almost crazy) take on some issues. That still remains but he doesn't seem to allow that to colour his moderation. Having seen supposedly "better" mods guilty of leting their emotions get the better of them, @Aeronaut is a very pleasant exception.
There should be an Infraction counter near your avatar. If the user wants details then they'll check their profile. I've seen a forum where there were three greyed X marks. Once all three turns red then the user would be banned (likely a temporary one). By having this visual cue, members will have to think twice before hitting that Submit button.
Second, remove the Users Country Flag, Users Location Flag and maybe the Location. You may see a decline in nationality mudslinging.
Third, ban all political topics. The negative side effect would be a significant drop in activity but not necessarily traffic. This would take up a lot of time and not sure if mods have that kind of time.
I support the first suggestion, only. Banning politics would leave nothing behind.
We used to have 'Hall of shame' where every infraction was publicly displayed with quote of their post. I believe this should return.
Considering that this forum is suppose to be about matters of defence, political topics especially inflammatory ones, brings out the cockroaches and detracts from the goals of the site. However, there are ways to allow political discussions but it requires heavy moderation. The question then becomes, does moderators have the time?
