They need to do that, but also let the right amount of tensions happen. Not all tensions need to be dealt with, because a little bit of natural tension that goes away on its own is absolutely healthy. I agree with what you said though. It's time that the moderators step back into the forums.

The question is, will they? Many years ago we had a forum crisis where they weren't do TOO MUCH, so they took a step back, and that was basically fine for awhile. People applauded it, but now that isn't working. The fandom has got way too big for that.
