    Mojo! Split from... What is your responsibility to BARF???

    I'd also say that the 'mojo' system needs a revision or two. one, we don't seem to have enough. I have some today (now), but it only allows me to flag 5 posts before it's gone, and then I don't see any more for a month. To be truly effective at 'moderating', i think we migt need more than...
