Quote - also, a site with very few rules and low moderation generally attracts the dredges of the internet - who thrive in such an environment.

Blackhearted, that may be your opinion, but after being around the Poser Community since the PFO days, being involved in running more than one of the sites, and watching how the sites grow and develop, from my perspective I can see that the more rules and moderation a site has, the more aberrated its community becomes and it's there that the dredges thrive. This seems to pretty much hold true in any community. Online or RL. Granted, my definition of dredges may differ from yours.
