I wouldn't want to be a referee. I'd just want the power to remove spam. I don't see why anyone would want or need to know who the spam remover is; just that the spam was gone.
antelope I'm here in support of you FWIW.... I've been a moderator 3 different times on this board, three different incarnations of "moderation" and "Super Moderation". I hear you. I never banned/modified/commented on any members post although it was asked of me, I felt that my role was simply to help Wilbur clean the board, anonymously if possible. That's all I wanted and it's all you want. Unfortunately there is a certain personality type here that makes the entire concept untenable.
It's not fair to Elmer, It's a form of insecurity I gave up fighting against.... and it'll be the death of this and all forums which allow it.
At least now we have a name for it..... "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
It's irrational
I just wanted to go on record in your support. Not because we agree, not because I'm "your friend", not because "we're on the same side"... I don't know you from Adam's off ox and don't ever remember that we've "agreed" or "disagreed" on subjects.
But that's immaterial.
Like you, I DON'T BELEVE IN sides
But recognize the problem, Elmer's a busy hombre and he's only keeping this old girl alive to honor TCC&BW
