Of course things can wrong with any system, but it is just stupid that people get all worked up over subjects and posting, let HTC get worked up over it, we pay to play, not moderate. I now return you to your regularly scheduled argument.
Like I said, I run many forums on many different subjects on the Internet. It's my job and I've been doing it successfully for many, many years. It is insane to think that I personally have time to view and vet every post made 24-7. I don't nor will I ever be able to. Instead I recruit from the community members who have shown themselves to be honest, reliable and put the needs of the community first. It's a system that works across every board I have built. Members do it for the community and do it responsibly.
No-one can expect the staff of HTC to be here all the time which is why I made the suggestion. It has nothing to do with being a 'Nazi' - which btw is probably the most ridiculous thing I've heard. It has everything to do with protecting HTC's business and letting a community do what communities do best - police themselves.
"we pay to play, not moderate" - It's this kind of statement that makes me wonder what you're here for. Do skinners pay to skin? Do map makers pay to map? Do CM's pay to create scenario's for us to play in? No. They do it for us for nothing. They do it to give back to the community of AH.
