I think it's great that people are donating to ChiefsPlanet. I don't mind those people getting some fringe benefits in return. I think it's a bad idea to have a policy that any yahoo can buy a slice of moderator power, though. There are several people around here who shouldn't be anywhere near the ban button. If we need more people with the ability to flag posts as offensive because our moderators are stretched too thin, then they ought to be selected with an eye toward their temperament and judgment.
One of the big attractions of ChiefsPlanet over other Chiefs message boards or other message boards in general (especially corporate sponsored boards) is the fact that it is lightly moderated. This place is like the wild west of message boards and I think that's a good thing. The lighter the moderation the better, IMO.

In general, I'm a fairly relaxed individual. But SHT's thread was ridiculous. I'm not sure it required a banning, but if I had the capability, I'd have locked that thread with a polite request to quit being a complete ****head.
If he tried it again, then I'd whack 'im.
