I can see the Pinside mod is a kind of "self moderating" feature which is not part of the SimpleMachines feature set. I feel that it would not be beneficial to the way the forum runs as we may have an issue like members "ganging up" on a particular member - and then it would add more overhead for us.

I look at it this way - We have a "two moderator" system which has done well so far. I think the Pinside system adds another level that is not really needed here. I don't really pay too much attention to the way other forums are moderated, but I hope it works well for them.

But I understand the context of the question, Swinks, and it is not a bad suggestion at all. I just don't see the need.

I would like to suggest that if a member is not happy with a thread or post, then simply select "Report to moderator". Nick and I act on that almost straight away.

A) I think that Nick and Nino get the moderating of this forum right most of the time
I would like it more if they posted general warnings when a thread get heated, rather thab wholesale deletion. Vut it is theie site, their rules

B) I do not think that AP has enough asshole posters that we need more rules

Thanks for the kind words Pete
