You might not give a shit about T/O uniforms... But what about Moderators, Spam, and Flag Systems (see post below)

Proposition "1"
Users are given the ability to self-moderate. A "voting system" would be used, and if a post gets more than a predetermined number (ie: 5, 10) of negative votes, it is automatically deleted.

Proposition "2"
Users are given the ability to "flag" objectionable content. After it is flagged, it would be investigated in a timely manner by the Admin or a Moderator, who would make the determination as to further action (post deletion, user ban, etc).

Proposition "3"
The Admin appoints a user (or users) to Moderator, and they assist him in maintaining a positive atmosphere, free of spam, that welcomes healthy debate but is not conductive to personal attacks or spam. Moderators would be held accountable for any actions (post removal, user bans, etc) they take.

Proposition "4"
Take no action, and leave the site as it is.

***PLEASE VOTE NOW - THIS POLL EXPIRES ON OCTOBER 14, 2007 AT 11:59:59PM. YOUR VOTES ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IS APPRECIATED***

sounds like Craiglist

Prop #2 for now, if it became huge with comments then maybe I'd reconsider. I'd be inclined to suggest another idea just so this didn't overwhelm his life and become another job for the admin but, I prefer to leave this topic up to him.

-T/O

i think #1 makes the most sense from a standpoint of not taking up too much of the admin's time. although, as PPID mentioned in another post, it opens the door for people to neg someone just because they don't like the poster or the content (even if it is on topic). perhaps something like #1, but somehow punish people who misuse the neg button as well.
