Well now i'm supposed to say, I said so...
(Remember my pm, guys?) 
The whole idea was much ado about nothing..
Its not about you, bluffy, I'm talking about the very idea of having an 'MR'...

The result would have been the same, even if it was someone else in your place.
I guess, the mods are there for the very purpose of helping out the members,addressing their issues and maintaining a decorum in the forum. I dont see how just having a 'savvy' MR tag could've made any difference in the world. And lol, well..it didnt..
Get real,guys..Experiments are
fun, as long as the concept behind them have some substance.For example, the writing contest was a fairly successful experiment. Well, atleast the first time around. But then, this whole MR idea was utterly nonsensical from the word
go.
I guess, the hierarchy is fine the way it is. Admin>Managers>Moderators> Regular members. No need to squeeze in unnecessary elements into the system, just for the heck of it.
