I will try to make my point once more, perhaps more clearly. Any "solution" for FT's so-called problems need to be simple - extremely simple- for it to work. Our tendency is to over-design and to complicate, and the cumbersome structure that results will throttle Flyer Talk.
Moderators, I believe will be helpful. A "Hot Debate" forum, I think, will not.... it will only further complicate the issue of what is appropriate and what is not. For moderators to work we need a few basic- yet simple- policies: for instance, there is really no written policy, even yet, that multiple handles cannot be used. I have never used any... but how would anyone who did ever know that they weren't supposed to? We hardly can fault mutliple users if nobody has said they are not to be used. But the fewer policies the better, IMHO.
