Quote - I run a small model railroad forum, and can say firsthand, if you tightly moderate, people will complain, but if you are lax, people will complain a bit more. I tend to err on the lax side, but I'm not a business. As in all Human endeavours, You just can't please everybody.
Moderators are what they are. Discussing it is friutless-if you have a concern, write to them...
The mods here are very tolerant. You dont need that Extreme Example the O.P. posted as comparison. Just Pop over to CGSociety.org
Much more strictly moderated.
Frankly IMHO the main problem here with forum vitriol is that a certain Attention Addicted people have a beef with the mods or other users.
and the "Conflict" is quickly escalated by their "Loyalists"who Attack anyone who does not Express oozing Sympathy for their self promoting "Cause".
