Here's my 2 cents, in case anyone still cares to hear my opinions regarding board policy and overall atmosphere.
Just as with a new member to the board, allow Greg time to get a feel for things here. He's already shown several times that he is open to new ideas, and shown the willingness to compromise by returning select smilies. A few 'adult' still remain missing, and maybe thats best if advertising efforts are underway and you don't want to give off the wrong image. There will always be a fine line between what some consider innocent fun and others consider crossing the line. In these cases I've always felt it best to compromise, and it appears that is what Greg is trying to do.
Regarding moderation, that shouldn't be an issue. There are several factors that went into the current moderation crew and none of them had to do with political affiliation. Almost every mod has been here since the very early stages of the board. Mods that are on-line during various hours of the day. Mods that have shown themselves to be reasonable and/or polite when dealing with others. Should Greg think there are changes to be made, I'm sure he'll make solid decisions.
I think Greg should be allotted more than a week to see what type of changes or improvements he can perform. There's an awful lot of posts and members to get familiar with before one can truly gauge a forum. Nobody can expect him to make a fair decision for himself without him seeing things with his own eyes.
