The moderation here is quite cheese-filled and delicious. Descent with modification from this standard is certainly not imperative, as far as my sock puppets and I are concerned. However --Automaton for moderator! (and the socks rejoiced)

I would like to see the personality flame wars shoved over to Rants, Raves and Preaching.

Other than that, I think the mods are doing a fine job.

I especially enjoy Scigirl and PS418 when they post stuff here that has more of an actual hard science bent.

As a layman, I�m sometimes not sure that I have any business butting in on this forum where both the knowledge and erudition of the resident scientists is awesome. But the Moderators not having invited me - so far - to stick to Rants, Raves and Preachings, I value the tolerance which allows me to post here. They will understand, therefore, why I think they are doing a great job!

A psychiatrist would probably have a field day with the connotations that those three words sprung into my mind!

As for the moderating, keep it moderate!

Don't worry about being a laymen and posting here. My education background is mostly undergrad level geography and geomatics. You certainly don't need a PhD or be a professional scientist to rebut creationist arguments.

This is an ideal place to ask questions too, regarding something we don't understand with evolutionary biology.

Sometimes I feel I'm in a bit over my head here compared to the other posters, but I've always found the creation/evolution controversy interesting to read about. And I got a compliment from scigirl one time regarding my posts and an email debate I had with a creationist professor a while ago, so that was one hell of an ego boost.

Keep it the way it is.

Ditto! I like moderate moderating. Good job.

it is quite nice as it is.
now if only all my posts were automatically moved to the top of the page, bathed in a golden glow, presented in a larger, more elegant font, in a nice shade of royal blue, well then it would be heaven, er, make that perfect.

This is good.

I would not want to see a Baptist Board opperation, or even the level of intervention currently at ARN.

I feel that racism and bigotry are not needed, and should not be acceptable. If posts are deleted, or threads closed, do tell us why as clearly as possible.

I see no reason to vary from current practice.

Thanks.</strong>

Agreed. Moderators have a tough job. If they do it right, you don't know they're there. Talk about thankless!

And I'll have a notdog.

Don't change a thing you're doing a fine job.
