Time to add a new moderator?

I love it!

@Barbara.. you must've read more in my post than there is actually there because I don't remember judging anyone. It's a simple fact you don't post that often. Maybe you lurk a lot, I have no idea about that.

I'm all for 'self moderating' or 'anarchy', actually. But maybe that only works on Dutch forums since we're more used to that

Hi Mari -
The old Ledge was a failed experiment in self-moderating, and even when Marty started this board with moderators it wasn't until we established some guidelines in 2002 that it became easier to deal with recurring issues that were divisive and destructive.

Probably "judging" was the wrong word. The nature of a moderator's job is lurking. I try and read the LB Forum regularly and take care of any problems that come to my attention through private emails. Unless I have something helpful to contribute, I rarely post. After five years as moderator, it seems I've said everything I know at least twice!
