As for the lack of leadership, I'd volunteer to moderate, but I'm not one to go out of my way to initiate new topics. Though if appointed you can expect me to follow my general view that the best remedy for bad ideas is free speech.
Just make the spammers go away and I will be happy.
While the idea of having someone do away with Eric the Obtuse is a bit tempting there are a couple of small problems. The first is free speech is valuable if only so the idiots can show themselves. The wielding of arbitrary power tends to backfire onto the advocates of such power rather spectacularly. The Dims in the Senate found this out the hard way last year and I am pretty sure that lesson is still lost on Eric the Obtuse.
