But your post does make a thought twizzle in my mind. We could make a bot that looks at incoming messages for offensive stuff and sends a "possible trouble" note to the moderators. Decisions about moderation always require human brainpower. That bot would be *especially* helpful when moderator terms near the end. That's when the kooks come bubbling to the surface. Some things I would like to see: 1. A button that would "Suspend this guy for 24 hours..." which would be really handy when you are the only one available and someone is acting up. 2. More automation on message deletion (One thing that would be helpful would be a list of email names and a list of messages involved forming in a queue. That would be really nice to notify the posters of what is going on) At any rate, it's actually not much trouble most of the time.
