A few recent threads that have experienced this had no moderator input at all. These are threads that have been going on for around a week and still nothing had been done.

In what could be done to improve the VS board, a suggestion could be to set up a panel of judge moderators to examine the acceptable points posted. Once a certain deadline is reached, then the thread is closed and an outcome is displayed. There is no way that people would accept judge moderaters deciding the outcome. Everyone would through fits about bias and this and that.

Now, With your spiral out of control threads, I'm sometimes there but I am absent at times as well. The main reason I'm absent is lack of time to address each and every individual point that's out of line with forum policy.

Basically, flawed as my excuse is, I'm hoping that either the users in questions will calm down themselves, be calmed down by another user, or another moderater who happens to have more time would moderate the forum.

If everyone here wants a more ironclad grip on the forums, I can and will simply just close forums what I deem "too abrasive" behaviour without warning. I don't have time to moderate every single user, and when the entire thread is starting to act up, I don't have time to look at each individual case. And if I don't address every single case but I address the one I happen to look at, they start screaming that I'm showing favouritism because so and so didn't get a warning for similar behaviour.

So my two solutions are this. I start closing threads that I decide are going too downhill (which will be kind of sucky because people will start saying I'm abusing my power if they don't agree with me), or we get 1 or 2 more forum mods.
