Check out the mess at 300zx.co.uk
No disrespect to Craig at the 300zx forum, hell Im even donating hardware for the new server and I dont even have a zed anymore!
Bu-ttttt
That place can and often does resemble a bloody playground - too many egos and some very bad feeling.
We tried moderation but it never worked due to, I guess, apathy and no one wanting to be seen to censor. Basically anything goes and some of the posse abuse it in my opinion. Occasionally Craig will close a thread but usually by this time the damage is done.
What tends to happen on 300zx.co.uk is bile thrown at members whom other members have fallen out with, here there are PM for that but I think the moderation helps to avoid it happening on the public forums.
I get the feeling there is a healthy respect here, I always got that feeling and my thoughts are its a good thing BUT it can make the register a little sterile - as though personalities are not fully reflected in posts and threads.
Here are some stupid wastes of bandwidth:

There are much much worse - yep its mildly amusing and nope I dont like censorship one little bit BUT I get the feeling that all that nasty shit wouldnt happen here.
So no I dont like to be moderated but I feel that someone moderating what is said makes the register a more civilised place.
Sorry to waffle but I feel strongly about this and dont want gtr.co.uk to degenerate into a public slanging forum, nor do I want it to be like mkivsupra.net where (IMHO) you cannot say anything without a moderator jumping down your neck (sorry JB but I cant stand mkiv.net

)
Rant over.
