They already did that on the old forum, look how well that turned out.

Seeing as the evo forum was pretty much self regulating, and there's been no incidents here, I'd argue almost any current member could be trusted to be a moderator. I imagine you really wouldn't have to do much apart from admin work.

See Miks post which is correct, the reason it's worked so far is because it's a level playing field and you either fit in, argue the point or flounce. Give someone like Rev admin rights and the next time someone disagrees with him, or Tim tells him he's fucked up the simple act of buying a car again and that admin power will most likely be abused.

That simply isn't true and is pretty fucking insulting. If only I had that ban button right now.

If they do, they'll just have to wait until I can tick the box to complete their registration.

You're probably right... Though I'd like to think that (using your example) Rev and Tim are bigger people than getting genuinely wound up and petty, then banning someone trolling them a bit.... I've met both of them in real life and they're decent people (Well, apart from Dave being a Northerner, and Tim being from Norfolk, of all places)

The problem is already functionally solved, all the rest of this is just arse licking, grandstanding and, frankly, pretty sad, even by my standards.

So business as usual then.

Ironically, given this specific example, Tim made me an Admin of the Facebook group.
