Topic: Can this Forum Get a Mod?

[Biollante]

This is an extraordinarily smooth-running board.  There's occasional spam and problem members, but it's mostly self-policed and Oldiesmann is always there to bring the hammer down if need be.

The last thing I want is to add authority figures to my life.   Invariably some thread I find interesting will get locked because discussion gets "too heated."  Or the moderator will delete posts or issue warnings because "double posting isn't allowed."  I hate that ticky-tack nonsense.

Please let's leave well enough alone.

Ok, maybe not a traditional mod that asserts her/himself in every thread.  But how about someone that just has mod powers in case the site is trolled or attacked while Oldiesman is offline?  Just some back up, nothing else I think.  They wouldn't even need to be in a mod user group.  Believe me, I have trouble with authority as well and like forums that are very lax compared to overmodded.  I've had to leave several boards, just because the rules were too insane or the staff overmodded the place.  But it's pretty much an internet law this forum will get flooded or something at some point.

I tend to agree that we don't need a (new) moderator.  The forum runs smoothly most of the time, and Oldiesmann has always been swift and efficient at dealing with any problems I've known about here. 

If we must have one, though, I nominate Captain Hero.
