Actually, I would rather have Spear deal with this than some other third party entity - especially one we are unfamiliar with. Reason? Spear can't be bought off, and I'll put my reputation on the line to back him up. I wouldn't do that with ACME Auditing Ltd. So I think we have the best thing going for now. There's something to be said about a self-regulating industry.
Sure Spear is a moderator here, and yes he suspended
one account of a member who has a history of ignoring forum rules and guidelines. (Spear did warn people to chill, did he not?) Keeping a thread on track is a
very difficult job, especially ones like this that are so heated yet so important. We cannot afford to let it spin out of control with emotionalism; this is a discussion - not a witch hunt.
Moderation is tough work and the only thing he gets out of it is recognition and maybe a dinner once or twice a year from me.
As for hurrying for the results, I would rather have the results from something well-thought out than hastily done.
