I am actually a bit miffed about this, we weren't consulted.
I hate to say it, but ditto, except I do mind being a mod. I was going to reply to ed's suggestion with a general flavour of "ugh, no" but figured I'd leave it until my lunchbreak because it'd mean another argument / case-stating effort which is tiring, man. So tiring. I don't really want to be an enforcer of Other People's Opinions, especially when I like to be quite upfront about My Opinions, and this compromises my ability to do that. To be able to use any of those malign powers, I'd need to pipe down about what I think as a member of the community. I can't do both simultaneously, so I'd need to either be quiet and hope other people take up the Mantle Of Having Opinions so I can act on them, or Have Public Opinions That Won't Be Acted On because of the baggage that comes with having powers to enforce.
@bothwell and @hats agreed to that 'suggestion' rather quickly, I thought..?
