Can moderators from any IW forum lock a thread on any other IW forum?
Would it be possible for moderators to indicate why a thread has been locked? It would certainly obviate the need for PM's, at the moment we don't even know who to PM.
Is there any possibility that a European IW member could become a moderator? It would certainly help in terms of time zones.
Why is it acceptable for me to say that Tony Blair is a complete dickhead but not acceptable for me to say that George W Bush is also a complete dickhead?
If Timber Loftis claims that Tony Blair is a Chimpanzee will he be banned? (just using you as an example TL  )
Are you allowed to slag leaders of other countries off as long as they are not democracies or at the very least, Christian?
Are we allowed to challenge other members to disagree with our opinions?

Well, some of this is "classified information"...
In general, we try to inform each other when we do something.
Most of the time when we lock something we explain why, sometimes we don't if it's obvious (duplicate threads, flamebaiting...)
Mods assigned to a specific forum have more authority in that forum than those that are not. If you have a question about something happening in that forum ask them.
Memnoch is second to Ziroc. If you have anything important to say, you can PM him.
I'm most often online at "European" hours, when the forum seem to be dead.

For the same reason you can call yourself an idiot but no one else can call you that.
You can get away with more things if you are politically correct and try to word your posts in a non-offensive way.
