Lugnet Admins should be given the power of:
1. Directly editting the posts of users without their consent.
2. Directly canceling the posts of users without their consent.
3. Suspending and/or banning users who repeatedly break the ToU.

If Lugnet wishes to maintain the spirit of no censoring, then it could follow
Ray Sander's advise - http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=50243 - and provide a
link to an unedited copy of the message.  A link that children would be advised
to avoid.

This would allow the Admins to be more immeadiate and complete in their attempt
to police Lugnet.  It would also be easier for users to obey the ToU, especially
when they remain ignorant of policy updates in .admin.general.  The whole
she-bang would flow a lot smoother.

I think this would make Lugnet a better place. And so I say "Please moderate
me!"

I'm writing this as a user of Lugnet, not particularly as an Admin. I'm writing this way to get the reactions of other users in this concept. == If Lugnet has added 'no cursing' to the ToU for the expressed purpose of making this site friendly to (...)
