I have to agree that one of the things that made Metafilter's moderation more successful was being able to moderate without alienating the users. Moderation often devolves into simply ejecting all but one "tribe" from a forum so that nobody's left to have a disagreement; MeFi avoided that trap far better than many places.

So invisible moderation does still have a downside. To be fair, I think most of the people still posting there are like old friends now.
