I don't think that these forums should be given moderation mostly. Because then, think of how all of the mods and admins would dictate us. They would lock our topics, they would keep barging in and try to act cool and shit, and sometimes it's as if we're 2nd class to them or something. Overall, that would kind of ruin the humor and fun we have in here. I have nothing against mods or admins, but sometimes they just go too far. I enjoy the overall freedom of this place. If we're going to have someone or something watch over the place, that person should only be there for one purpose: to delete any posts that contain spam.
Then again, I'm not sure if we even want that. Some of the spam is pretty funny, and lately i've noticed how often some spam kind of prompts humor, and we can always get those spammers back without getting busted.
This is just my opinion, but I think that the forum should stay how it is.
