Quite frankly, I think we need someone active and in good standing with the company to keep an eye on the boards. The huge number of ridiculous spam, repeat, and troll threads could be caught earlier and be merged and or locked/deleted like they belong. Keeping boards in orderly conduct should be a priority, but not at the cost of the company, since it's already taking cuts just so we can play. I really don't think people are that childish as to throw a fit that their thread got deleted, and volunteer moderators NEVER have the ability to deliver punitive action.
