Future of the footy forum

3)  What changes would people like to see?

Zero tolerance of personal abuse but banning to be a very last resort - I still miss PI2C 

That could involve more active intervention by mods at the slightest hint of personal animosity creeping into a thread.

Restructuring the forum to simplify where new topics should go may help folk to kick off discussions.

5)  Is there anything in particular you don’t like about the site in its current form.

Kruddler!  Only joking; I generally enjoy his contributions   

When is a joke not a joke? What is a joke to one, is not a joke to another.

Contradiction much?

In any event, i'm pretty thick skinned and don't care. But the same comments made at another person might yield different results. Not good for the casual observer who doesn't understand the dynamic of the people involved either.
So what are the mods to do in that situation? Act quickly and kill all the fun? Let it run and potentially escalate? Not sure about the others, but i was not handed a crystal ball during my time on the moderating team. Its a thankless task that puts a target on your back. The mods should get a big wrap for what they are doing already.
