I understand the stance of the Devs, but having members who are respected and community elected to be mods to help root out the trash and garage is key.


For Player mods!

I am Omega Null. The abyss is my home and your last frontier. Welcome to my lair and become my Prey. As I track your scent through this nether,

my mouth begins to water. Your Demise will be quick and wretched.

Enjoy your Pain and Suffering as I tear Limb from Limb. Prepare to meet your Final End.

Technically we do, but they're not allowed to use their powers on everything.

One aspect that is not often brought up, is if you honestly think something is just Not Quite Right, click that little Report link at the bottom of the post. It's sensible, doesn't contribute to any negativity possibly already effervescing, and it's private.
If you're wrong, so be it. If you're right, whatever is sliming up the works will be dealt with much more rapidly than loading up a thread with a flamethrower.
I don't do it, because I'm immature and enjoy acting like a dork on occasion, and have a reputation to uphold. :D
Really folks, use what we have until Something Else comes along.

edit: as mentioned elsewhere, if you think it's urgent enough (criminal, legal liability, etc), direct PM ZC, Defter, Hoogs, whoever.

As far as I know, they help ensure that new members aren't posting spam before they let them become full members capable of posting on the forums. Most people in the convo, if not all, started here before this system was implemented and so may not be familiar with it.
Also as far as I know, it was put in place to stop the babaji problem.

They are here to combat spam. For a while, we had a major issue with spam-bots flooding the forums. They way things are set up, the devs couldn't just give these people limited-moderation abilities only for spam. So they are technically full blown mods, but they have rules about what they can and can't moderate.

I'd volunteer.  

I've been the Admin (not a limited moderator, but the guy with the server passwords) for a motorcycle roadracing site for about 8 years, now (it's all-but defunct, because FB).

No thanks. In my humble opinion, this would lead up to create some kind of content "mafia". I think the forums are okay at the current state,  what´d happen if back then , with the reducethedelay , or the nerfscoutplz dramas we had user moderators_...  some big names were/are relly really really pro / against  those subject. I´d hate to see some biased moderating just because friends via PM suggest things, no no no. I think that would be worse.

but how else are we toget moderators if not try some _ its not hard for someone to be unbiased, and its impossible to say even a total stranger whos getting paid will be unbiased so i see no issue with using people from the community to do moderating,there are logs and such i dont think a mod can abuse you without you being able to defend yourself to someone higher up

as for nerfing, thats not what the op is talking about thats part of the dev teams work not mod team
