I personally believe Moderators are doing a great job....

While I may disagree with some of their decisions, it is their job and not mine to take those decisions. (I try to email them my thoughts... they can do what they want with them.)

In some ways, flagging a thread with a OMS icon would just bring attention to it.

I will say again: the way to deal with people who "hijack" threads and violate TOS is to timeout them or ban them. I would advocate Moderators having expanded rights in this area... currently only Randy can do it and it sometimes takes time for him to get to it based on his busy schedule. Punishing the masses by closing a thread because of one or two people is not the way to deal with people who cannot play nicely.
