I'm not sure the answer is NEW mods but rather MORE mods. It appears that the number of reports are becoming overwhelming and difficult to handle with the number of mods there are now. From what I can gather, that is the reason the thread was deleted - because of the high volume of reports and not enough mods to handle those reports.
So perhaps MORE mods would be the answer.

Or people can stop reporting posts simply because they don't agree with what was posted.

Except that isn't going to happen.
Maybe we should institute a reporting cap! Like Karma. You can only report once per hour.

And maybe if you are a "chronic", you get your button taken away for 3 days?

I've only ever reported posts with very obscene sexual content, and then only because the offenders wouldn't let up and that stuff doesn't belong here. A little innuendo is one thing but all-out graphic descriptions are not something I personally like to see here or feel the need to tolerate since that's ostensibly why EE is there.

How disgusting are we talking? I don't find MU's posts disgusting, they actually make me LOL. ETA: Probably another reason why I'd make a terrible MOD.

I find it easier and less personally aggravating to just leave a thread I find offensive. I agree that stuff doesn't belong here - but not because it personally offends me (since I just leave). It's because it might get the board shut down and I don't want that.

If we can't discuss things that are within the CoC, but that cast moderators in a bad light, maybe we should close the whole thing down. that is against the CoC ;D

MU's posts are a great example of what I feel zero need to see around here. I know a bunch of people think that makes me a humorless stick in the mud, and quite frankly I don't care. I like to discuss subjects without hearing about a poster's masturbation habits and I don't apologize for that.

I also feel zero need to see MU's posts. But I don't report them. I think I have only reported one post since I've been here (and it wasn't yesterday). And then I was reprimanded for my report because apparently the post I reported wasn't against the COC.
I am still confused by the fact that multiple reports on a SINGLE post (or poster) have led to the thread being shut down, rather than the removal of the offending post (or poster). And I don't think I'm the only one who feels things would've been handled differently if it hadn't been an admin who made the offending post.

But there was a post where MuscleUp told Firebird (I'm paraphrasing here) that she needed to get some therapy and stop whining about being raped because no man is going to want to hear about her complaining. That's clearly a personal attack.

However, she obviously complained about our banter on the "do you answer your door" thread, since she thanked mmhmm for reprimanding him over there. *edited to remove confusion
