A moderator puts members into moderation when they cross the line so that their future posts wait until they have been approved. I pointed at Matt as a good candidate because he loves hopping playfully back and forth over that line so much and with glee. I imagine that if someone were to be moderated by Matt, it would be that someone had crossed the line... and kept going.<br>

For the record I'm not from NYCR. <br><br>Matt's point of what we want moderated is important but unfortunately fodder for another round of personal and politically charged discussion which will most likely not get us anywhere. A moderator could handle thread moves at the request of people on the list.<br>
<br> One would think code of conduct would be pretty simple. Here's where a moderator can come in handy. Using Eric's example of hackerY who makes some good points in an inappropriate way. Everyone has seen it happen on the list where 20 people come crashing down on the poor guy and he gets defensive or leaves the group instead of being brought to a higher level. A moderator could step in and handle HackerY either off list or on list.<br>
<br>Basically I see the moderator(s) as escalation points.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Dave</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 9:07 PM, Paul Böhm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paul@boehm.org" target="_blank">paul@boehm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
