Sounds good. But your devs are not the people to moderate. Nor is devrel
based on what kloeri told me about it.

If you want users and devs in a forum which is moderated, then the
moderators *have* to have authority over _both_ and more importantly a
mandate. This has all been discussed before, it's what lead to the CoC
(which arguably wasn't needed) and the proctors (who definitely were and
still are.) *Face it guys*, you made a mistake in getting rid of them.

Running around trying to get more toys isn't going to change that, and all
you're doing now is wasting the last year's work on the non-technical
aspects of development, and potentially digging a much bigger, much nastier
hole.
