I find quality is like art. It is very hard to quantify, but "I know it when I see it."
Gibber made the point well with the 'virginity thread'. Of course, it was designed to be a winner simply because it invited everyone to reminisce fond memories.
Billege also has some excellent points. I would hate to see this become a place where everyone must conform to a straight jacket standard or be booted. That isn't what the TFP is to me, nor do I think that's what it is to the other moderators.
In the end, I think Jadzia has a great point and framed it well. She didn't 'lay down the law', she ranted. Her opinion matters because she cares deeply for TFP which resulted in the fact that she is now a supermod and not because she is a supermod.
