Think of a moderator as a social lubricator rather than a policeman. We DON'T have flame wars here, but our job isn't just to put people in their place. Moderators are also here to lead the community by taking an active role in the development of discussion and content. We're increasing the number of active moderators because we have a new strategy to increase the quality of discussion here on the TFP, and it takes a little more of a hands-on approach than before. Not only that, but we are expecting an increase in traffic due to the recent technological improvements that we've implemented.
