Going forward, Admin will be adding all Mods spots. Admin and the User can remove.
Actually after giving this Mod policy some thought overnight I find that this statement and the subsequent future application the most important change to be applied.
The stickies/IBOX stuff will work out on it's own over time. Users will find out how much they can push that envelope of different points of view before there are repercussions and adjust. Or Admin will adjust the policy /format some. It will be an ongoing process for a while.
But having Admin approve ALL mods based on IHUB community behavior is paramount because the present system of only catching up with abusive, ineffectual, or trophy mods was in dire need of adjustment since Admin had no real way to monitor how the criteria for becoming a mod was applied until well after the position was filled.
