I honestly don't think the moderators are responsible for many of the problems here. This is a community where people have strong ideas about what should be done...but where people disagree about those ideas (and what they say they want is inconsistent with how they act). It can't be easy to try to negotiate the minefield. I do think it's perhaps time to recruit some more moderators if there are reliable people willing to take on the thankless task. Some forums have only one or no moderators, and no one person can be watching a forum 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Poser has three and, with that, there often are times where it is hard to reach someone to let them know that a thread is starting to smoke. The biggest problems I see are not anything the moderators could resolve.
