[hackerspaces] status of this list

[Dave Giancaspro]

For the record I'm not from NYCR.

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.

 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.

Basically I see the moderator(s) as escalation points.
