Advice on Moderating OOT

[Dynasty]

In his PMs to me, Mat's comments about me moderating OOT were the bare essentials. He said:

You would have no obligation to do anything; the option would simply be at your disposal.

and

Please do not abuse this or these privileges may be revoked.

Despite a few goofy comments in other threads earlier tonight, I obviously have no intention of being an "OOT Overlord". I intend to take moderator actions only when they are appropriate and when they support the type of environment we want here in OOT.

I've mentioned to Mat that the main problems I've seen in OOT over the last few months are (1) threads created soley to insult other posters, (2) duplicate threads, and (3) threads about poker.

I'd like feedback from posters if they also think these are problems with OOT which should be subject to my weapon of choice:

The heavy duty actions (like banning posters) is something I'm leaving to Mat. I won't be banning anybody other than obvious spammers (like our religous friend of the past week).

I agree that these are the three things which should be subject to moderation. Most of the [censored] posted here is stupid but not worth being moderated. I think that's a good list of the three types of posts that should be moderated but don't lock EVERY thread in those categories, some are still viable.

4. Posts that implore you to read and/or print out an article about Jesus.

Did someone obtain Dead's password?

Edit: Dude, did you lose a bet or something where you're forced to have a gay avatar and a semi-insulting location and compose posts like this one?
