Jefe really needs to rotate the mods. There are plenty of great posters who would do a fine job, but there are mods who already have preconceived notions about certain posters and vice versa that there is plenty of "suspension trolling" going around that is only going to escalate, not get better.
The only fix, as I see it, is a clean slate with new mods and try the process over, then rinse and repeat.
We are at a point in the cycle right now where all the best posts are in FO, and the main board is borderline troll-fest.
I'd like to go back to old CB, where we could have discussions on current events, in the current events category, without it being "auto classified" or deleted simply because a mod "thought" the poster was trolling, or maybe the poster WAS trolling because he despised the mod he had a beef with.
Rotate the mods and let the new mods make enemies. .
Just my long two cents.
