You know, it seems like a lot of the things people complain about could be fixed if the forum software had basic filtering software. I mean functions that Usenet readers have had for a decade. Like a killfile - the ability make certain posters or posts containing certain keywords disappear, at least for you. Those who didn't want to see OT or WIP or Controversial posts wouldn't have to see them. I think that would reduce the amount of work the mods had to do, too.
