View Full Version : Lack of moderation = better forum

Just thought I'd throw this out there. Very occasionally, I get kind of annoyed at some posts, and the fact that moderating is almost non-existant on 2+2 (compared to just about every forum I have ever been a part of).

However, proper moderation is rarely done, and trying to draw that line between appropriate and inappropriate almost always goes the way of censoring posts that the moderators disagree with / don't like.

I gotta say that I like the 'self moderation' of OOT. For the most part, people are mature, and really ignorant posts get pointed out and shot down. I'll take that any day over tons of threads being deleted over little infractions.

I find 2+2 forums to be the least frustrating and most thought provoking forum I have been a part of, and I credit most of it to the great lack of censorship. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I didn't bother to look for a link. But, the moderation issue comes up every few months in different forums.

In a small amount of words, it means: this thread sucks.

It's from a recent news story about a big burning pile of bull [censored].

It means this thread is redundant/lame/we're sick of this topic.

It does not mean the thread sucks. It means this topic has been discussed before in another thread, usually very recently.

This time it was a bit of a joke. That's why I didn't provide a link.
