Scroggs, just to pick up on
As for consistency in moderation, it's an unfortunate fact that all the mods (and there are 60+ on Pprune, though not so many that have mod powers in here) are human and not clones, so they will have different interpretations of the policies and rules we work under
a) Individual moderators looking at individual forums should be consistent, that's what I was getting at. So, if you are going to shut down a thread on forum x because of its irrelevance, shut down similarly irrelevant threads on the same forum.
b) If the moderators have different interpretations of PPRuNE policies and rules, how can contributors be expected to abide by them? Is it justified to rant when someone asks a reasonable question about those policies and rules?
