If you could get the mods to do 1 thing and only 1 thing... what would you want them to do?
I would have them remove an image from the "Funny Pictures" thread that makes me sad each time I see it.
I'd have them grant me immortality on the Hype (i.e. be unbannable).
You have to pay us first
do you take PayPal?
I'd get them to take down the restrictions on everything in the funny pic thread.
A rep/neg system
Introduce a thanking system, I know the big wigs don't see the merit in it, but I've seen it implemented elsewhere and it considerably reduces useless posts of "100% agreed", "LOL", "That's awesome!" and the like.
That will just be abused
Delete all the funny pictures and add a no-humour policy.
Kinda OT, but this is the only forum I have been on where you can't delete your own posts. What's up with that?
For high volume days or even on days that the Mod presence is low, a Mod should be able to "deputize" a few of the more trustworthy Hypsters for a day to help with some of the more basic Mod duties (no ban hammer). It could also serve as a field test for potential new Mods.
