Instead of a set of mods trying to handle the entire BT communities, it is possible to set up mods for individual forums. Two for each forum should be more than enough. For the slower moving forums, mods could do double duty.
However, having someone(s) actually answer emails/PMs and direct them to the appropriate people would be highly desireable.

Great post. I agree.
Individual forum moderators may not even need full moderator privaleges, but could stay alert to any problems, try to resolve them, and correspond with the administrative moderators when necessary. Individual forum moderators would have an insight about the members involved, their 'record', and history of ongoing problems, if any. I would think an individual forum moderator should not have authority to ban, but might be given authority to delete or temporarily block a post in order for a quicker response to spam or something really offensive, until a higher level mod could respond.
And there should be some sort of method that if the majority of a forum felt the forum moderator was not acting fairly...there was some way to voice that. Of course, you can't make everybody happy all of the time, but the majority should be most of the time. No system is perfect, but I do think it is time to consider trying something a little different.
