You don't seem to have understood that the Cbuzz thread was about a very specific topic we needed to seek feedback on. The purpose of that thread has been a bit mischaracterised in this debate. Indeed, included in the OP was the statement:
We would appreciate your feedback on this – all or any of the questions above. This is not a time to critique any other websites or provide feedback on moderation outside this topic, although we welcome your feedback on our moderation by PM.
You seem to be suggesting a specific question we asked is somehow akin to a general discussion on moderation.
The approach has not been successful on all forums it's been tried on. Again, that one size doesn't fit all mentality.
