I would definitely work with the other moderators if I felt there was any question about whether or not to get involved with a particular thread. In obvious cases, though, I think I have been around long enough on this board (about two years now) to know when a post is inappropriate and needs moderation. However, I certainly wouldn't think of myself as a "loose cannon". The main problem with getting a moderator consensus (or majority) before actually doing something about a problem is that attempting to get all three moderators communicating at a given time might simply not be possible. That's one reason why there are three moderators. >Will you post the moderation policy (not for debate) but so ICC members know the >new moderation policy? I would like to think that the new moderators would spend at least a brief amount of time getting to know each other and trying to find some common ground on which they can all perform their duties. But, as I said, from experience it appears that most of the moderation on this board has been quick and decisive because ONE of the moderators got involved in a timely manner. So, I would expect that one of the first items in any "policy statement" would involve the ability for any moderator to act autonomously if the need arose. But, of course, any "official" policy that was agreed upon by the moderators should be posted. jm
