Yeah, we have a hard decision coming up ourselves. We will be adding new forums to our site, but won't have the time to moderate them all.
If we give them moderator rights to the people sponsoring the particular forum, we are giving them a lot of power.
I guess we will have to since we won't have time to moderate everything, and the sponsored forums will have their name on it. So if they are a dictator in their own forum, then it effects their reputation more than ours.
But I would still like to know what is going on.
