Forum moderation and improvement

Having seen an uptick in issues with inflammatory posts reflecting world events, and keeping in mind that this is an aviation forum. One that can (and should be) a place where fact based discussion and reasonable discourse rule. I personally would like to see an improvement in feedback and policing.

We do have moderators here. But we also have a wealth of active posters with a level-headed, pragmatic approach to posting decorum.

It would be of benefit to the entire community if we had several active posters with limited moderation powers such as:
Deleting irrelevant threads
Preserving threads with a wealth of data and information
Limited policing power to delete irrelevant or inflammatory comments.
Ability to move posts to appropriate threads.

The forum has lost posters due to constant digressions, trolling, and tensions over the current geopolitical trends.

That is a sad state. This should be a place to embrace aviation, and discuss such on an intellectual level.

I fail to follow such protocol at times as most of the posters do. But we do have several posters such as: BiO, Berkut, TR-1, Trident, and Mercurius who hold to decorum and standards on this forum. It would be beneficial if several were given some limited power to moderate this forum.

If you agree or have comments, please contact the mods and enter comments below (please don’t turn this into a referendum on the above posters listed, perhaps contact the mods with your own opinions).

P.S. Apologies to those listed above for not PM’img them first on mentioning them. This is only an idea. One that most likely will go nowhere.

Thanks.
