I don't care what color my name is. I told KS that if he wanted to leave me green, I of course would ban obvious spammers and the like if I saw them. But he understands that I am no longer actively moderating the forum.
The reality is that no one has ever been able to moderate this forum to everyone's satisfaction.
My honest expectation is that this forum will limp along for a while with little or no moderation, and things will seem tolerable. But as the U.S. election approaches, posting quality will deteriorate and the need for moderation will increase. If no one is willing to moderate in October-November, the forum will go off the rails, probably enough off the rails that some people will freak out and complain to the owners. The owners then will decide that the forum is more trouble than it is worth and shut it down.
That's a bit of a doomsday scenario, and I hope it doesn't happen, but I think that outcome is definitely in play.
