There are a couple of issues that need to be address.
1) This site should be as impartial as possible for all members. If there are claims of favoritism toward certain members and there is a "pecking order" when deciding who are the problematic members, because I'm the only moderator around here.
2) Zero moderation would be free access for old forum trolls to come here.
It's inevitable that trolls or occasionally problematic members are the norm of any active forum. This is the reality of it, so let's have a setup that can deal with it in a fair and honest way.
Maybe it's because this is a new community so people are still getting used to things and people here. Whatever the reasons, any group need direction and decision making.
3) After consideration, the solution that would work best is to have 2 new moderators who
- have voting rights when it comes to banning or suspension of members.
This way, any banning or suspension of members will be with the voting and decisions of 3 moderators here, so the claims of favoritism and "pecking order" can hopefully be put to rest.
So nominate 2 members who you feel will make the best decision and if possible the reasons. Sorry you cannot nominate yourself, though that should be obvious.
Update: Changed nomination for second moderator.
My nomination are Kilokahn and another member to be decided, based on post history, I am confident this is the best candidates.
The deadline for Voting is 30th October.
