I think that the biggest complication in this is the fact that the people who want to police others are usually the same people who want to abuse others.

- DanBC 14y agoI gently disagree with your post. But I would agree that the meta anguish[1] that some forums go through is often driven by people who just don't know any better and who probably shouldn't be given any power. [1] they start small and really good; they get popular; someone decides that something must be done; there are long and bitter threads about moderation; mods get appointed; and then there's a slew of stickied threads and rules and closed threads and bizarre restriction.
- zby 14y agoHow about this: the need to police others often comes from the same root as the need to abuse them.
