Here is what will happen...
Multiple moderators making banning choices.. once someone gets banned people here will complain that their friend was targeted, they (moderators) were all out to get him, he wasn't part of their clique, etc.. similar to what you have now. Anyone who thinks this (complaining) will stop is just flat out drunk on love pills.
Look at the diversity of people here, look at the personalities. Anyone think moderating is easy? I used to mod a chat area, 5 days it took before I said forget it. The first day, I was getting e-mails and PM's asking me to ban certain people on things they did 6 mos prior, of just because a poster didn't like this person, or didn't like that comment. You cannot win, it's worse than catfights.
There will be no perfect system, there will never be a system agreed upon by everyone. Its Mikes court and its HIS ball, if you don't like the team he has picked, or the rules to the game, change courts, it's that simple. But to be naive and think that any system will be any better, the dynamic here makes it improbable.
