@Jon: Since it is a longstanding moderator/editor policy (longer than I've been around the forum, anyway)
not to make front-page posts that consist solely of a single comment and a quotation, I'm pretty sure what you're suggesting is not what's going to happen here.
@Tompe: If you'll go to
https://www.mobileread.com you'll see the front page. Alternately, you can click on the MobileRead logo at the top of each page to get there.
As it happens, we don't have a formal moderator guideline for this sort of situation (and, yes, we do, in fact, have an actual list of them). It's simply never really been an issue before. However, now that it is, the moderator team is currently discussing a formal rule of thumb (for ourselves) for dealing with this general type of situation, so that we can be consistent about it going forward. We're also hashing out how to deal with this specific case while we're at it, and this specific one may or may not vary from whatever guideline we settle on, depending on the specific circumstances. We will let you know what the outcome is once we know ourselves.
In the meantime, we're asking for your patience as we figure out how best to deal with things. This is one of those things that the current members of the moderation team,
as a team, need to reach an agreement about. Your concerns and suggestions seem to be cataloged here sufficiently for us to consider them in the process, and we thank you, both for the suggestions and your patience.
