Re: [Trisquel-users] Add sticky post to forums explaining RULES. Please please please please!!!!

Moderators "can" be annoying but at the same time they can also be very  
useful.  Especially if the forums have rules established.  I know a forum  
that is very well moderated.  For example they have a for sale section where  
users can trade and sell items.  I feel safer trading there then on sites  
like ebay.  They have several safeguards in place such as needing an isp,  
edu, mil, or gov email address (no yahoo, google, ect.) and you need 100  
legit posts before you can trade and if you screw someone you are banned.

With moderators it can go both ways.  They can be beneficial or degrade a  
community.  I guess that would be why you could also have administrators  
(e.g. quidam) and hopefully a "dictator" mod would be taken care of swiftly.
