Members should be policing their own rather than egging on those that post obviously bad advice or suggestions.I never asked Josh to be a moderator here when he was asking for assistance, I don't know to what extent the have moderation controls, but I am a moderator with Jon's editing controls on another site and when someone puts spam up, or posts unethical or illegal content it gets deleted on the spot.
