As several users have pointed out, this forum needs dedicated Forum Ninjas promoted from this forum, for this forum. Recent situations have only made this more abundantly clear. This forum needs active, responsible, and unbiased moderators handpicked from the OffTopic community; not from a different forum. Burninator posted a fantastic idea about starting a Trending tag to get the webteam's attention regarding this issue. Hence this thread's existence. So, whenever you make a thread; tag it #OfftopicNeedsDedicatedMods so we can make this a thing.
NOTE: As aforementioned, credit for this idea goes to Burnie. His idea; not mine.
FYI, you guys would have no part in the decision making process. You know that, right?

I think the moderation is doing fine, even if some of their actions are "questionable" to some users. The only reason all that porn stayed around today was because it's Christmas and the moderators(who are people, believe it or not) were doing family stuff. Generally the solution is to actually report the stuff we see and not just type "inb4ban" to it and watch the fireworks. Ninjaing is a volunteer gig, if I were in their position I wouldn't be policing the forums 24/7 to swat down any CoC violations that rear their heads at the drop of a hat. I say we need to acknowledge that forum moderation is a joint effort and understand that we need to [i]use[/i] that report button if we [i]really[/i] want the forums to stay clean.
