We the People *NEED* Forum Moderation

There's always some one who wants to ride others out of town on a rail and pitch poured over them but heavy moderation can be a pain in the ass as well.  Threads are moved to the "appropriate" spot, which is usually the slowest forum, guaranteeing a death of a thread.  I've seen more than 30 threads locked in one day at other forums.

Its a pain when some go at it, but often reasonable folks will get caught up in a war of words.  Neither side understanding a long thread with them bantering back and forth is irritating and even worse, like boring.  They don't realize how stupid they look as they trade insults or up the anti with knowledge.

But over all a lightly moderated forum is best.
