I have been to some sites that have no moderators. Those sites suck.

I have been to sites with hypermoderation which limits debates to the point that nothing interesting ever gets discussed.

Our problem here is that we have kilts which pull up talk of politics, fashon, sex, history, quality and price issues. Each and every one of those will cause some debate looser to become offended and bellyache to the moderators.

Moderators take action based on complaints. Ya know the sqeaky wheel gets the grease?

So what is the right answer? All or nothing, well neither of those. How about we ask the moderators to simply remove posts containing personal attacks and blatant advertising and be moderate in their moderation.
