I'm afraid DJ was suggesting that the existing modding moderators should take more of an interest. Not that we need a new moderator solely for the purpose. As has been mentioned, most mod teams take care of their own housekeeping (stickying etc.) so a moderator would just be there to help out barocca in case things got out of hand.

No, I think that one or two exisiting moderator(s) should more actively try to keep the peace at the Hosted Mods section. Of course modders have benefit when their modforum is friendly and enjoyable, but I have seen some modders flame a Org member, who critized a part of the mod. Modders are members of the Org and they need to follow the rules and creating things for free doesn't give you any freedom for insulting or flaming. And that danger exists when mod forums are almost exclusively moderated by the modders themselves.

Of course the modders should take more interest as they probably read all the interests. For example this post: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...3&postcount=25
I would have immediately deleted the whole post if it were posted in the Sengoku Jidai forum, but the EB modders apparently think more freely.

Maybe a solution could be to reconsider the mods of every particular mod subforum so that one of them is the team leader and the other one is more of a law enforcer... (ya know, some clubbing...

)

post edited,

By the way, I reported a bad post a few days ago via the little warning button below a posters profile. A few days later the posts were edited. Was that your work, barocca, and because of the reported post?

If anything gets out of hand in the CTW forum I will delete it, thankfully we have not had any issues over there.

I think the Hosted Mods forum is a bit big for one moderator to handle so if things get out of hand there should be a person from each mod team who can be trusted to enforce the Org rules. Maybe the mod leader at EB should be talked to and encouraged to take a more active role in enforcing the Org rules.
