Subject: Bruce's big three ideas and an notion for automation --

Shamelessly purloined from one of Bruce's messages:

"There is no need for more process baggage to be dumped on the moderators.  It
is enough to remind them that:

1) They should behave with some sensitivity toward those who elected them.
2) Actions such as post deletion be accompanied by appropriate email.
3) They should attempt to achieve some concensus within their own group."

I would like to add that if some tools could be built to assist them, it would
make their horrible, thankless job much easier.  For instance, to delete a
message, a form would open.  It would contain the text of the message with the
email address of the offender and the other CCC moderators.  There would be a
standard list of checkboxes as to why the message was bounced
(profanity/personal attack/whatever) and, if none of those applied a typing area
labelled "other".

Then the other moderators and the person getting the boot would all know what is
going on, and the post would not be dropped until at least two out of three
agreed to do so (my opinion).

Other ideas?
