Someone who listens and receives input, and considers actions carefully, instead of doling out dictatorly rules.

I like YotaTech, I think its a great friendly place, and has lots of great Tech, but I think that this kind of attitude and position on the issues brought to air could be a contributing factor to sending many people who may be anything from a lurker, to a loyal contributing member scampering to other forums for thier Toyota needs.

I know it is a fine line between doing what is right, and doing what is popular, but perhaps we, and by we, I mean the leadership of this forum (even though I am in no way involved with that) should tread that line a little more carefully?
I have to agree with this Rocko. I think a forum needs to be dynamic and the moderators should be able to guide the change not prevent it. I too am tired of rumors about why folks were banned. I would prefer to state the reason. However, that just might create more gossip. I really don't know how to get around that...

Thanks for all of your input so far...
