I never asked to differentiate between what is high quality and what is low quality. I'm asking to differentiate between what is on topic and what is not.

You want a better forum...make it a better forum. The onus rests with the community, not the mods.

Maybe it does. If that's the case, that's what I'm trying to do. I decided that appealing to the powers that be was the best first step.
I was not calling the moderators out, Jiri, for not doing their jobs. I'm calling out everybody. I'm calling out the perpetrators for continually -- and I mean continually -- getting into ****ing matches, baiting, etc. I'm calling out everybody to have a dimmer view of that. I'm also suggesting, given that the "moderator" title intrinsically carries with it the authority rod, that if any of the mods feel the same way I do, to let those at fault know about it.
Joe Poster is gonna care much more if you tell them to cut the crap than if I do. If I do it, as you pointed out, it's liable simply to start exactly what it is I'm hoping gets curtailed.
