There may not be a new mod specific to PnR at all. The current mod team could handle the job by replying on reports alone. It would just be up to the posters to be responsible about when things get to far.
In truth, I am with bfine on some of his earlier comments about someone not a regular moderating this. I had my hesitations about doing it for that reason, hard to appear impartial with that being the case. You can be impartial in what you do, but because you have a dog in the fight the appearance will always be that there is bias there. I was flattered upon being asked and so took the mantle reluctantly, but I firmly believe I was a poor choice for the job. I defended the decision before to try to make sure this subforum got off the ground, but it should not be someone posting here on the regular.
We self-policed on the other board by messaging the team or reporting when things got out of hand, which they gave us a long leash on, and I think that if the other staff are okay with that it should be the direction this forum should be in again.
