Randy, since you have solicited opinions, here's mine:

Moderators: No.

Board Monitor: Yes.

I think just an email address to someone that is present in your office most of the time to react in a timely manner to any obscene posts, and to "speed up the time to action (and only if necessary) of addressing flame wars and posting irregularities.", would be sufficiant. How much or if you give that person authority to edit or delete posts, I assume you would decide based on your criteria.

Just sort of a "FlyerTalk 911" thing, when and where quick action is needed.

Personally, I've been lucky enough to have never seen a FlyerTalk post that I felt should be deleted or edited by FlyerTalk. I have seen some rather unfortunate comments that I would have hoped would have been edited or deleted by their author, however. But I would never suggest censoring even those, and prefer to let them stand as a sort of "monument" as to that person's character, so that others that come after can make their own personal assessment as to the caliber of the person in question.

IMHO.
