I would no more consider being a moderator at the moment than I would consider going into a war zone. I would expect to find myself having to deal with these same trolls, who might at best be suspended for a short while but will then come back, ready to vomit on everyone's shoes again.

I think that it would be easier to recruit more moderators, and that they would have less to do, with a permanent eviction of our well-known repeat offenders, and with rapid and permanent exclusion of any new trolls who turn up.

I agree that passionate discussion is great and that insulting discussion is not - I'd really like to see PR being a safe place for discussion again. Reasonable people are becoming afraid to post.

Hi Sasha,

Just wanted to mention that Mark has posted in another thread that he has a few new volunteers for possible Mods.

I just PMed him myself with the hopes of joining the ranks... Hopefully, the site will get back under control here in the near future.

Best Wishes!
