If I were Russ I'd look at who's complaining about what. If someone was unfairly banned, i.e. they'd done nothing that was inappropriate, I would intervene. If someone was whining because they'd gotten in trouble for doing something that they knew not to do on this site, then I'd ignore them. If you're the only car that Officer Ticket pulls over for doing twenty mph over the speed limit, then it's not nice of Officer Ticket but you still broke the law and still deserve the ticket. If you want other people to be banned or have their threads pulled, click on the post's link and fill out the form. You have the power to have others face the same consequences that you do for the same infringement.

Here's the other thing I'd do if I were Russ: I'd immediately delete every post that refuses to name names and exact situations. Innuendos are for sleazy people and cowards. If you can't say exactly who did what when and what the result was, then you're just whining. Whining is for day care centers.

Miss Scarlet was killed because she used to be Colonel Mustard's cousin, Sergeant Fuchsia, before the whole surgery thing. But since Colonel Mustard was being vetted for a possible place on the ticket as Vice President, the Colonel didn't want any skeletons in his closet, so to speak.

First paragraph is refreshingly objective. Second seems a bit draconian and ignores solution cost, which may exceed the cost of the problem.

If you were Russ you wouldn't have time to do any of that as you'd be far too busy coding and developing the site. Instead you'd hire a team of volunteer moderators to do it for you.

If you were Russ and/or Chris, how would you approach short and long term resolution of RHP Site moderation issues?

One simple courtesy request: Please find other sandboxes to jest, fixate and fight in. Only thoughtful replies go here.


Thanks.
Definitely hold an annual Red Hot Pawn Moron Jousting Tournament. I would hold mod auditions by having candidates engage in one-legged dance-off competitions.

Sorry Grampy, you asked for it.
