The suggestion of letting other members vote on someone's post is suppression of freedom of speech. It's one of the main arguments that has been going on since Big Dirigible was banned. It would stiffle thought, and encourage that only like viewpoints be expressed.

As someone who has moderated on three different boards, I'd like to suggest a possible partial rotation policy among all the mods, and powers that be. It could be a standing policy that nobody serve over X amount of time without rotating off.

After a while, the sos becomes a bore, and irritant. With constant irritants, we tend to lose patience. It is part of our human frailty. Also, we tend to interject our personal feelings into situations. I have seen rank pulled over a political discussion on this site. I have seen implied warnings with semi-veiled hostility. As a member of the governing body, we are supposed to not let our personal feelings affect our judgement.

Maybe, a better warning system could be put into place.
