There is a difference between moderation and censorship. One can have moderation without censorship which means only removing spam and personal attacks, and this works fine. It's called free speech.Yohan wrote:One thing is for sure, any forum without moderation at all is ending in a chaos. So what to do? Well, the decision how to moderate and what is the purpose of the forum is with the site owner/administrator only.
Stalin would feel very much at home in the modern world. The problem is that every forum is an echo chamber full of morons who only want to hear their own views repeated by others and never want any of their views to be challenged. This system guarantees the preservation of bad ideas and prevents truth from reaching most people.For the banned user it's not a big deal anyway, I am with Niceguy-Forum and don't care about OrientExpat anymore. You and Fschmidt are with HappierAbroad. - The internet is wide and if one site does not fit you, the only way is to leave and signing up with another site.
