I'd like to avoid having a moderated list as much as possible. I'll give you
my criteria for banning a thread:
1. It is totally OT AND is detrimental to the community (the gore thread
started people fighting.)
2. I ask that the thread stop and it continues (I asked in the morning for
it to stop and at least 10 additional posts went on)
I know that these sound like simple criteria, but the amount of threads that
fall into it over the years has been less than a dozen or so. I'm holding
moderation of a thread off as an 'ultimate weapon' to only be used in the
most extreme of circumstances.
To be blunt, I'm here to safeguard the community, not play babysitter. I
think we're all adults here.
