All my opinion but right now its kinda a headless snake, and it being open to long allows both sides to shoot themselves in the foot. After the month or two month trial we should discuss and modify again if need be.
Thoughts on this mini proposal?

The vote closes in about a week and a half. If the current voting trends continue, it seems like this might be the things the majority will want :
- 1A. The rules should be applied equally to all members (ex. rules apply equally to mods and users)
- 2B. Rules should NOT apply equally to all forums (ex. "Safe Zones" less strict)
- 3B. Outside safe zones, mod policy should discourage short, nonsense posts
- 4B. General mod policy should allow for mods NOT to react to an instance where a rule is broken
- 5C. Details of rule enforcement can be subject to public scrutiny
- 6B. For punishment, there should be a general policy to use warnings, infractions / bans
- 7B. For rule enforcement, moderators should use their personal accounts
- 8A. A new moderation policy should have a trial run first (ex. 1 - 2 months)
- 9A. The mod team should be bolstered with additional mods.
- 9C. The current mod team should be retained.
Out of these, the bolded options are the ones I assume are out of the ordinary and would require some work to implement, if that was to happen.
I think the best way to implement wanted changes would probably be to appoint a project leader for this and delegate the task to him / her. One of the mods may want to do this. Then they're in charge of making a plan for how to implement this, get feedback from the community on things where that might be necessary, and then try to work through that plan.
edit :
I would volunteer, but not unless there was a decision to implement options 1A, 4A and 6A. Based on how the poll is going (not to mention the previous one), that seems highly unlikely.
