Yes! Good move Trevor!
I expect to see ........... and less fight on forum..:D

Trevor & Matthew cannot control what gets posted to any forum threads by you, the members of Amiga.org, or how much fighting occurs, but they can provide direction for the moderators on how they want members who violate the Terms of Service for posting to these forums handled in the future.

You should look at this as a partnership between management of this site and the members of these forums, as to how productive all of you want these forums to be.  Moderators don't want to treat members like children and members don't want to have what they write moderated.  If everyone reads and follows the rules set in the Terms of Service, the forums are much more productive and helpful for everyone.  The forums are also much more enjoyable to read that way, unless you are a Troll and just like to stir up trouble and watch the mayhem that follows.

Matthew and/or Trevor have stated their intentions for this site, either directly in this thread, or in the announcement.  They wish to support and expand the Amiga community.  Hopefully, members here will accept that statement and not look for any other dark, or mysterious intention or goals.  I have personally met both men and they are great guys and huge fans of all kinds of Amiga experiences.  I believe that this change will be a great thing for everyone.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Surely the owners of the site could even sack the moderators and do whatever they wanted. I'm not saying they would, but you're saying they cannot.

That is not what I wrote at all.  Members will post what ever they decide to send to the forums when they click the "Submit Reply" button, or when they create a new thread in any forum.  A-Eon, through the use of their moderators, will choose to permit any particular post to remain un-moderated, or to moderate by editing, or deleting any post, that they decide is in violation of the Terms of Service for posting on this forum site.

How do you interpret what I wrote as saying that the new owners or management can't sack the moderators?  Of course they can.:)
