Didn't say that was your only purpose here.

If there's a thread that no one needs to see delete it without stress. You can also try turning it into something newbies maybe should see by editing the thread or post

You'd be surprised.
Some newbies might check a thread if the title of it is about where to get roms, or other illegal material. Newbies to emulation are attracted to that. They see pokemon in a title and they click on the thread without thinking about anything else but to play pokemons. Can't blame them, when I was young, I wanted to play Zelda - A Link to the past really bad. That was the game that brought me to the great world of emulation. Never said that
everyone will read the edited post or even follow the rules, I'm just saying that some will. I know that it's not enough to eradicate the problem of newbies asking for illegal material.

It can only start arguments over things that never needed arguing...like this thread. Since not everyone agrees with one thing and other reasons, why is the best way to moderate not such that people aren't sure you did anything at all?

Any debate is good. A debate is there to clear the confusion, and simplify a situation. If this thread exists, it's because there's a misunderstanding somewhere that need to be talked over. Sooner is the better. The board really need some clarifications about the job of a moderator. It needs to be talked over. Problems are helping things advance in a good way. When there's problems, there's questions, opinions, ideas, fears, etc.
I do think that Edman choose the moderators too early, without knowing them enough. It would have been better to see how they reacted to the ambigous situations on the forum first, then make a decision. I'm not saying that the moderators here aren't worthy of doing the job.
I'm not mad at you at all, I enjoy a good discussion. I'm just stating my opinion. You have yours, and I respect that.
