Just trying to help the best I am able.
* IMHO, I think that's what everyone is trying to do. Maybe a council for blocks which last an extended period of time would be a good idea. Having a council look at a questionable post, where the poster was blocked for say a period of a week wouldn't do much good, unless the block was reversed and the next block was for a week.
The question of how to pick the council:
You could always just let Dr. Bob pick the council, but that could lead to a discussion of favoritism.
It could be comprised of original posters (or "older", not to say anyone's old of course) but that could leave relatively newer posters feeling that they don't have as much of a say.
Everyone could just vote on who they think should be on the council, but couldn't that make it a popularity contest?
What about drawing names out of a hat? It would be fair, but somehow doesn't seem to be the best solution.
Could just start a thread and discuss who should be on the council, if one comes about, and go from there. That seems logical.Oh, and your comment about the spell-checker. Does anyone use that? Well, I notice I seem to have the most spelling errors. Thanks for not bringing it up, though it slaps me in the face every time I read my own posts. Maybe I should try to use it every now and again :)
