jeffalo says that it would be better to keep light until we need more people power. those are his opinion and his words, not mine. but, it probably wouldn’t hurt to have just one extra moderator on team whose also actively checking reports and such.

for what you said about the “less power” idea, i was thinking there could be some sort of “janitor” role that trustworthy people could have where it would function in a similar way as to what you described in your example. they could hide potentially rule-breaking content, notify the rest of the team so they could be aware of it and possibly take further action if they needed to, but not have so much power that they could blow up the entire website.

i’m still not entirely sure about it all, but i’m just speaking my mind as i write this reply to your comment.
