I’ve always felt that the OP should be a part of the moderation process on their own thread – other than obvious spam. The OP is the one who posed the question, so they should have some power in directing the conversation that follows. Of course, they need to be willing to assume the responsibility that goes with that. Perhaps a Yes/No reply required, where they would choose whether to moderate their own thread or to defer to the Fluther Mods.
But as most of us know, no changes will be made to the site, so it’s just wishful thinking; but if anyone were to develop a new, dynamic Q&A site for us, they might incorporate such an option. Has anyone inquired whether BenDrew would sell Fluther, or does Twitter own this site (and its content) as well as its creators now?
