If you could add a sub forum to SN what would it be ?
For me it would have to be a "Phone/Tablet/App/Apple/HTC" although technically it is Computer Related it needs a home of it's own.
It would clear so much **** out of NSR and Computer Related
Whilst we're at it lets rename "Fight Club" Fanboy Club and let them get on with it

Would be covered by Comp Related if only people would post them there. Yesterday the mods moved a thread eminating from a phones thread in NSR about phone photography to the Photography forum yet left the phone threads here LOL!

What about
My car is faster than ......... - Where all the budding street racers can brag about how they 'beat' a clearly faster and better built car being driven by someone who really wasn't trying?
Or
The dyslexic smartphone or spell check room - for those of use who are not fortunate enough to be able to have technology which helps us write in coherent english?

I've already added a sub forum in days gone by, Bikers
If I were to do it again the new one would probably be called *****

Not sure about sub forums, but i think moderation should be transparent - there should be an audit page somewhere where we can see which mod performed what action. And, for what reason. Doesn't have to be particularly detailed, but we'd be able to see which mods are being harsh and, transversely, they might be more thoughtful before acting (knowing their actions are visible).

You take phone threads out of nsr and it'll be dead! They're always multiple pages, why the moderators moan about them I never know as its bringing traffic in.
For how many posts are in photography and frequency of post made I would close it an let it run in nsr.
Where a lot more people look and would appreciate good shots and give good advice

On a serious note, much of the moderation on here is in response to RTMs from the community. What gets our attention is not just arbitrary - sometimes we just chance upon actionable things as members of the community; most of the time, we're directed to them by YOU!!
Would everyone be happy with their RTMs being visible to the community too? Because one would need that info to be able to articulate anything approaching a valid opinon on any moderation decision. I'm guessing the answer would be no!
You'd be surprised who complains about what....sometimes I wish you could all see! It would proabably tear your soul, er, I mean the community apart
Would you like to know what members of the community think you should be banned for something, for example? 
Believe me, the severity of our decisions is nothing compared to what some people cry for!
Remember the ill feeling that user issued infractions caused?

Really what harm was the banter in the phone thread you locked today doing?

I thought fight club was the gayers section
Never read a proper argument on there , just gayers wanting to bum each other and look at ****
