I'm always late to the party, pete have you been a moderator yourself? (not a personal attack, just a question) I did it for nearly a year on IRC & it drove me totally batshit, it was fun for about 5 mins then it became a real pain in the whatsits, so I can't see any reason for people to really want to do it for the perceived power they would have, still have to stick to the TOS even up near the top of the pile.
