What the article argues is sometimes true, but sometimes it happens that a community dies because of insane moderators, as the above commenter observes.
It happened on the MaxPC forums a few years ago, where I and a few other long-time posters were banned for reasons that were trivial, because one of the mods -- a very hotheaded and patriotic Canadian -- was threatened by the respect others accorded us.
BoingBoing is doing the same thing, from what I can tell, with its idiotic disemvowelling.

- throw_away 17y agoI would love to make a subreddit that auto-posted bb links and allowed unmoderated discussion of them. bb links are pretty good, but I agree that their human moderation is dumb and heavy-handed. I've always gotten stuck on how to programatically submit reddit posts.
