BingoWings, are you a mod?
I grew up in Brighton so being a Mod could have got me arrested a long time ago on a shingle beach far far away:
No I'm not a moderator but I've seen so many threads pulled off track by debates between people who clearly feel strongly one way or another about the whole fan edit thing that I thought it would make sense to give people a place to speak their brains without putting people off of putting up interesting and potentially useful ideas.
We have all been on discussion boards of one kind or another and seen little sectarian block wars (my games console is the best, my computer format is the best, SE is better than OUT, PT is better than OT, this film I haven't seen yet is going to SUK...no it isn't etc,etc) and they can be kind of fun but this is a creative place with a enough room for people of many points of view to work in.
So I thought it would best to have a place where people with different takes on how far fan-edits can go and how much good they can do can let off that steam and if that makes the work of the mods easier (as long as they aren't throwing deck chairs at rockers) that great too.
