Moderators have a moral resposibility to be polite, use polite language and avoid controversial issues. If they cannot fulfil these roles, they are dismal failures and should give way to better suited persons.</font>
To be added in the "count" and to add my two new pennies...
I am 100% in favor of moderators (fwiw).
But I must say that I am little confused with essxjay's posts. There
is a difference between posting as
"essxjay" the FT'er and
"essxjay" the Moderator. I appreciate burkey and craig6z's separate moderator handles to distinguish their posts.
The quote above by 100000 is completely rough and unfair. W/o a two-handled essxjay you don't know if that comment is coming from her as a moderator or as an FT Community member. Because
there is a difference.
A burkey post saying, "chexy, wanna put back a number of cheesesteaks from Pat's?" should only be posted by burkey and not Moderator1. And the handle craig6z should post "yo chexfan, I sent the SWUs to you yesterday."
I believe that this is the root for 100000's correct but misdirected comment above.

why is such a popular topic moved from the largest forum to a dead one that no one would ever think of visiting?? (unless of course they actually have some suggestion)</font>
Simple, b/c this is where it belongs. I read the title as a suggestion in "dropping the moderators." I see no problem with this thread in suggestions. And I do not feel that
Buzz! should be a catch-all b/c it is at the top and a "large forum".
