Despite holding a BA in international thingummies, focussing on intercultural communication and understanding, I have always found some cultures a bit too enthusiastic about freedom of speech. I personally find that the moderators could probably have closed some threads earlier, and banned some topics that are allowed. But I respect the rules as they are, and try to conform to the expected behavior of the forum. I admire the work the mods do - I could never do it myself.

This is the only web forum I am a member of, so I can't compare with other sites, but in my humble opinion XMTS is very balanced and has a mod squad that should be paid in whiskey (or non-alcoholic beverage of choice).
