The problem isn't if it's a good idea to moderate forums. Problem is when it becomes a liability not to. The possibility of fines, lawsuits or god forbid prison time can have the kind of chilling effects we can't even imagine.
- Rusky 11y agoNo, the problem is whether to moderate forums- it's not happening and when people try to come up with codes of conduct so they can moderate better, there's a huge outcry. It would be fine if we had better moderation in more places, even without any laws. But even that's not happening.
- oldmanjay 11y agoThat huge outcry isn't going to go away no matter how patiently a censor explains that censorship is good for everyone
