Yes, Punki is correct. I did post this original message out of frustration. It definately was not the start of a flame war. If you search my posts on this board you will find that that is not and never has been my intention.

In general, I am strictly against moderators and censorship. So what if a post is not in the right place? If we don't like it we will not respond and the thread will close itself.

I spend most of my time at the Delta and tnhe Hilton Forums. Both are UNMODERATED. At the Delta Forum we have repetedly discussed and repeatedly rejected moderators. Yes garbage gets posted and yes some is discussed and some is ignored. We do not sit up all night analyzing the threads to decide whether to leave them, move them or close them...thus anal = analytical.

The ONLY place a moderator is needed is when attacks are made against a member or a group. OR, when damaging remarks are made. OR when foul language is used (although FT does well here as when the Russian skater ****skya was mentioned )

Possibly the only other place we need moderators is to prevent commercial postings.

Again, if WE want to post something and if WE want to discuss it..the thread moves on. If WE want to ignore it...the thread dies.

We are all adults and we can monitor ourselves very well thank yo.
