OK, off the top of my head in no particular order; some of these will no doubt overlap and contradict. I reserve the right to add more.

• A 1-3 Month moratorium on non-essential (legal/underage) duties - This will allow the board to establish a self levelling tolerance, or not. The only way to find out is to try.
• A formalised, public ban/ban notification procedure - Banned ID's or members with ban warnings are indicated either in a sin bin type forum and a simple cause is given under their IS - Member>Banned - Trolling/multiple accounts etc A workaround for underage bans if felt absolutely necessary. No more information than that need be provided.
• Moderator votes on bans could be published? It would aid transparency. Addresses the key issues raised recently.
• Ban nominations by a required number of Gold members. I know, open to abuse.
• Moderators to be elected by (Gold) members from a shortlist from you or vice versa? Self nomination possible, as now. Just an idea.
• A maximum duty cycle for moderators (I think this is already in effect). Perhaps 6 months, renewable. Moderator tenure can risky, moderator experience valuable. Tricky.
• Some form of age verification, the honour system is too open to abuse. Obvious benefits.
• No gallery access/upload for non paying members. At all. If the gallery is to be paid for that's fine but then non paying members who don't use it should not be made to feel second class because their contribution is 'merely' verbal (well, OK - written). That has wrankled! Pictures are not the sole raison d'etre for LPSG.
• A process whereby members, (probably paying members) may seek the removal of or request an explanation from moderators whose activity considered by a group (12 say) to be partial, spiteful and/or vindictive. Again, open to abuse but...
• Free members could have banner ads on pages to help subsidise, gold members not? It works sometimes, used to apply here also why did it change?

OK, that's mostly housekeeping stuff, the rebuilding of some singed bridges may be a little harder, but surely not impossible.This exercise is a step toward that. Thanks for providing a means of upward communication, it is appreciated.
