>> I like the empowerment of the CoB concept, with me in place to prevent abuses of it...

Me, too, Bob. As you know I threadmaster two high volume forums on SI. Neither of them is moderated, so the only barriers to disruption are our community standards, but those standards are very dissimiliar since one thread is a serious investing site and the other a place for curmudgeonly rants. The same message posted to both threads could be totally out of line on one and very amusing on the other, and it would be very difficult for an admin to to make that call using objective criteria.

I don't see IHub as a community, but rather as a collection of communities, each of which should have the right to set its own standards. Imo some who have objected most vocally to the CoB concept are concerned that their ability to disrupt will be diminished. I see that as a good thing.
