Increased membership = increased moderation

Reg has done a good job setting up the forums however redundant threads, cross posting, and incorrect forum posts will always need to be moved, merged, closed, or deleted.

The first thing that can be added is a "report post" button that allows a member to cite a reason... this helps moderators a good deal.

Also, with moderation there needs to be rules. Rules need consequences (temp bans, etc.). Mods need procedures. (or it could turn into Abu Ghraib or the Stanford experiment ).

This is not a small undertaking and could lead to even more useless posts (complaints) and loss of charter members before it gets better.
