On the topic of internet forums in general, there is another place I frequent that used to be completely unmoderated. The members policed each other ruthlessly and if you ran afoul of the rules (clearly laid out and stickied on the front page) you would be dealt with with extreme prejudice. It was not a very welcoming and inclusive place but the quality of discussion was top flight and threads didn't veer off course or get c@$ted up by trolls or wasters.
Due to issues stemming from posting innapropriate content that forum is now "lightly moderated" and a lot of long time members feel that it is in decline. I tend to agree.
I like it here more, but there is something to be said for an unregulated online community IMO.
