Until you pay the moderators, you will have to continue to rely on the band of unpaid willing volunteers who give up their spare time to keep this place running. Each of those volunteers is an individual, with their own style, preferences and betes-noirs. Inevitably, there will be differences in how each one interacts with members and the material they post. Some prefer to moderate in the background of the forum(s) they are responsible for, others are more visible. The fact that this site not only continues to exist, but is continually expanding, is testament that the overall style and tenor of moderation here is about right. Naturally, individual instances may provoke controversy and disagreement but that goes with the territory. At the end of the day, the ref is
always right!
As for the proposal for a separate, pilots-only forum, I would have thought that it would be obvious, given the time elapsed since this thread was started, that the idea has been considered in depth and rejected as not currently a practicable proposition. The more obeservant amongst you will have seen several changes to Pprune in the last couple of months, some in response to suggestions that have been put forward here and elsewhere. However, the overwhelming feeling is don't fix what ain't broken*.
