I like BornDragon's idea of a non-canibal area where we can discuss things but you must allow mocking - only not of each other but the topic at hand.
I think that's what your idea may have been with your assholes in the news section and for the most part you know they discuss and rant on topic there. Granted there is a few stray hijackings but on the whole it is pretty tame in there.
Change the category name, keep the forum for news and add one for open discussions. Stick a set of no cannibalizing rules in there and you're set.
I don't think this contest is worth anyone's time. If Sinister wants to step down then she should do so.
On all my boards mods are only there to keep order on a tech level - to keep topics in the right categories and to only police if they break a rule. Supermods have this same responsibilty on the whole board and to be more like my technical assistant.
I dont' think you need any kind of restructuring other than the above and now you got two members who've said basically the same thing. And others have asked for it as well.
Your "mod situation" is your own to wrestle with. If there's a situation at all, which I don't really see. Sinister makes one mistake and locks a topic she neglected to leave no loopholes in the rules on and everyone has a dramatic attack on the subject and we now have ourthird soap opera going on at mock.
Maybe this is more of a drama board?
