I would also like to throw my thoughts in, and several people I will be PMing because I would like to continue this privately.

Since very few of you would know this, MB tried the local moderating. It failed for two reasons. The spam was often not curtailed in the forums where the moderator wasn't on, while a mod in another forum, who was on, couldn't do anything about it. Plus, we're not big enough a board, and probably won't be for another year or so to support all these moderators. MusicBanter has roughly 50 regular posters. and another 50 or so that stick around for a couple months than leave. That's not alot at all. I'm on boards with 400+ regulars. When we reach that level, local modship will be a good idea.

And to adidasss, music comment, serious or not, metal and rock is my main staple of music. I have recently been getting into electronic and other styles. If I like it I listen to it, but regardless, I police the other forums. Because it is my job. Not because of what I listen to.
