it's such a nearly non-existent slice of this neighborhood. 370
people. at least all the cranks are isolated.
one of the things that your stats keeping did, i think, was keep
certain people from talking too much lest they enter the top 10. with
your statswork gone -- i think noise exploded on the list because
there was no clucking finger.
right now the list is set to everybody unmoderated. the software
allows for the moderation of all posts or posts by particular users.
we'll play it by ear, but we can also have moderators shut down any
threads that get too heated, or shut down the whole list for a period
of time if necessary. i doubt it will be necessary though. most of
the acrimony on the univcity list came from a pool of about six
people, and not allowing trolls would have nipped so many of that
unpleasantness in the bud.
i can also pick words at random and not allow posts that contain
those words. sort of like the duck coming down and giving you $!00,
but the other way around.
they'll get over it. in six months nobody will remember. everybody
will be fine.
