Okay, here are my ideas.
1. I feel there is a need for more deputies. Now, I have read posts that this is a problem. Well, how about these deputies having a different name when they are fully in charge? The deputies will have a name like that denotes their title. In other words, when they are posting a PBC or a block it would be under their title and not their usual posting name. This would allow the deputies to be able to continue to be a poster as easily as a deputy. Their identity would be protected.
2. When you go off line, you or your deputy could post a note that the deputy will be in charge of monitoring the board(s) at that time. This lets all posters know the boards are still being closely monitored and the civility rules still apply. People would have to respect the deputies decisions. I like how the current deputy conducts the decision making process. In concerning the length of blocks, that would be up to you.
3. If you can't find deputies within this board, you could have a friend that shares your beliefs to watch over.
4. (By the way, I am really dreaming on this one. This would help posters feel more self protected.) On each board, each poster can have the power to delete any posts off their screen they don't want or choose to use an ignore option for a particular poster.
In summary, I feel we need more anonymous mini Dr. Bob's while you are not with us to ensure the civility guidelines.
