Spinorial: As you see, people here are rather set in their views on good forum policy, and to hell with anybody who tries to explain to them why they might be wrong.
'Explain to them why they might be wrong'? There is a very simple metric to how this works: Either majority of board participants enjoy the boards without moderation, or majority of board participants feel like this forum calls for moderation. There's no right or wrong involved in that equation - as soon as majority of people here want moderation, I'm sure GOG will get around to introducing it sometime within nearest ... Decades. As it stands, majority does not want moderation, therefore there is no need for introducing it. You can't explain to somene that he, in fact, doesn't enjoy being here and interacting with people more than he gets attacked and abused.
As I said a few times previously - this is not a change that will happen on appeal of minority. It would be completely counterproductive. When I say "If you don't like it here, perhaps you should find moderated boards you like more", I don't mean it aggressively or out of spite - what I mean there is that, perhaps, this is just not an approach for you.
Magmarock: An example of why I want moderation is say I start a thread asking for an ignore button. I think the biggest reaction it would get would be people saying "yeah lets start by ignoring you." and so on.
And as long as there's something to talk about, that's also minority of posts you're ever going to get.
