I can understand what the admins are saying and if it pays for itself, there's no reason to limit.

Freakie_frog: I agree that this forum is unique.

As further info for the non-mods: In the forums where I "work", mods are online 24/7 and we read every single post. No one gets to flame or post anything that's not in line with the rules. A mod will contact the poster and ask them to edit or delete their post and will educate them behind the scenes as to why their post was inappropriate. If resistance is met, the mods take action.

Incorrect info is always corrected with a reply so everyone learns but bad behavior is not tolerated in public. That's what mods do - they moderate. And every mod I know is a volunteer.

Some forums make the mistake of limiting the number of mods which adds to the individual workload. On one particularly busy site, we assign mods to specific forums and sub-forums. Other mods (super mods) just roam around. The admins handle running the site and do not moderate.

I'm not bucking the system because if it works, great. I was just asking about a specific feature that I have not seen limited before.

Thanks for the replies.
