I don't have a sixth sense knowing when people are posting naughty links, I never have. I either have to stumble upon them myself or someone has to tell me. Just because someone has a sysop flag does not instantly mean that they must do everything for the wiki. It is precisely for the reasons you keep saying that we should have dedicated forum moderators. And you sysops won't spot naughty links because I'd hazard a guess that some of you are using that gadget to bury the Naruto Discusison topics, how are you meant to moderate anything if you are just going to hide the section which is likely to generate the bad links?

Nobody said we wouldn't moderate it, we just don't need to add more moderators to this website when it doesn't actually need it. The fact that you have to be told to go and close / highlight threads means that you aren't being proactive in modding them yourself. And yes, the forums specifically need some moderators because of the reasons above.

And remember, it would be much easier to moderate if you had let us mod it the way we would have as opposed to crying that it would "stifle discussion and push people away". We had ideas, you shot them down. No, your idea was basically to keep pushing members away and telling them to go somewhere else to discuss a series that they should be doing on the wiki. Just because a few random users dislike people talking about the series does not then mean nobody is permitted to do it. If you actually cared to look, the Naruto Discussions board actually has the most posts out of all the sections: that tells quite a lot.
