I would have thought the screen name "delusional liberal" would have been grounds enough not to give him mod powers. When you take into account some of his ridiculous posts then there's no way he should have been given the mod position.
Balance is a good thing, just choose a more level headed poster.
Now that I'm thinking about it, didn't Berserker kind of go off the deep end on the General Topics board recently?
Yes, I have my melts. look at it this way, we have a righty a lefty and we need someone in the middle who is a little more level headed and it's perfect. Lets face it, politics gets nasty very argumentative. The best way to deal with this is to have a spectrum of mods from left to right who are willing to not misuse their powers for argument sake. I may melt sometime, but there's no way I'm deleting or being a merger Nazi on someone because I don't like them. If I do, it's real simple, the complaint board will get hit, Ron will look into it, and one of you guys will have a shot
Same is true of DL, if he sucks at this, he's going to be gone for misusing his powers. I really think having balance is the more important thing in a political forum that way nobody feels like they're posting into a forum that has a moderation team that leans heavy one way. Now someone for the middle would be cool, you seemed to have a predisposition toward coaxing people down from their extremes, perhaps you could make a good case for middleman since you do this?
