25. There are NO mods here! None!

It's a self-service facility....there are juries, not mods. Juries can sometimes be capricious, but no more so than mods, who would nuke a reasonable post or three because they wanted to get rid of a subthread with some troublesome stuff in it.

All "hosts" can do is lock an off-topic OP. They can't "rule" on if a thread is good/bad/indifferent, only if it meets the SOP for the forum in which it is posted. Hosts have very little power, and if they try to assume it, it won't end well for them. Most know that already, those that don't, learn it quick enough.
