Return to a more strict TOS enforcement?

We don't need any moderation at all in my opinion, unless direct personal threats or mindless spam.

If amiga.org choose to accept this simple path you are welcome to use this logo.



Freedom of speech is a basic right that should be honored and cherished, not sadly crippled by moderators. From experience people tend to behave well when allowed to type pretty much anything they want, it works because people are generally good once given a chance to prove it.

YES! All this profanity sucks Most people don't like to read that trash talking rubbish, and people who do should find a nice trash talking forum.

Freedom of speech doesn't have to apply to privately owned forums. Same goes for homes: Sure, you have freedom of speech, but don't expect me to allow you to say everything you want in my home.

This is NOT the streets.

This is a public website where you don't need to register to read posts, even more public than the streets in a way.

I think people tend to become rascals (or juvenile) when you police/moderate them, on the other hand, if they are responsible for what they post without getting banned or have their posts edited they are on their own, and there's no moderator around to save them when arguments don't hold water.

I'd point you to moobunny to evaluate that theory

I can point you to my site, where 271340 registered users get along just fine (most of the time).

Open up an Amiga section and see how long that lasts!

Hehe. Seriously though, I don't see how it can end without moderation? If people can have it out without interference, the storms settle pretty quick.

One problem, that is not an "Amiga" community site.

No, just a bunch of hackers and copyright violators. In other words, nice people.
