I have thought about that, as well. How impartial can an admin be if they are also on the playing field? But then, why would anyone waste time here refereeing if they can't use the site?

if the admin posts publicly, then people will read his personal posts and judge the site according to his posts..

an admin can use one account to handle admin issues and use a second account to cruise the site.

so when are we going to implement my idea about allowing an OP to delete offensive posts from his thread and also allow the OP to ban any user from posting in his threads?

this would require someone that is an actual admin(not a moderator, but instead a site admin) that would run a chrome extension that would watch all subs posts and if an op replies to one of my posts(for example) with the words REMOVE or BAN, then the chrome extension would automatically act upon those instructions.

as a veteran programmer i can promise that you would be surprised at how this would work.

sorry, but i am not an experienced chrome extension programmer, or i would have already implemented it..

oh, i think i said that wrong up above... this chrome extension could be ran by any moderator of a sub so that it would use his moderator privileges to auto remove posts(and it would also need to remove those BAN and REMOVE COMMENTS)

this would literally launch saidit.

Self moderate posts would just become echo chambers for the OP's agenda.

It would be a troll free environment where the op could begin and moderate a topic conversation..

If you get booted from his thread, you can start a similar thread and you can moderate that thread.

I would have the ability to read and participate in a friendly manner, and I could always start my own thread.

This would be 360 degrees the opposite of reddit and other msm sites.

I might get motivated to whip up my own site.
