A new proposal is taking shape to handle (and survive) this flame-war. Thanks to Princess for her uninvolved suggestions.
Restrictions for CrowsNest and Kumioko:
1. No posting in topics started by the other (the owner of the first post is Crow or Kumi)
2. No quoting of the other (in any thread, from any source)
3. No reply immediately after the other (in topics started by someone else, where both can comment)
4. No daily post limit, if I can keep up with moderation.
Sadly I'll have to delete violating comments. These will be lost, unrecoverable. Previously I moved those into the members-only area, and it took a lot of time.
Because Kumioko has a tendency to spam, and promised to ignore the restrictions, it's a question to me, whether to approve his posts, or let him do what he wants, and hope for the best.
I'm cleaning up the mess, so I'm biased on this, and prefer approval. Opinions welcome.
For the time being he can make approved posts with the "Perseus" account. I'll change the owner of those posts to Kumioko, if he requests that.
To all: Please share your views/suggestions on this proposal.
I would also appreciate help with the moderation, if someone is willing to help out.
I trust Abd (Mr Lomax) would be an experienced person in this role. Eric, Strelnikov: would you approve of him?
The community wasn't asked about me becoming a mod, but if Crow has an opinion about this, please don't keep it inside
