This great forum is disintegrating very quickly - here is how to stop it

I disagree.

NAT had very good reasons for acting in that way - there were people that were intent on provoking the issue, and I count myself within that group. However, tonight's fun and games is a completely different thing all together.

FWIW, I have no issue with NAT as a moderator, despite what I said (or implied) in the past.

Yep - agree with this. As a (mostly) well behaved onlooker, I though NAT was perhaps a little over enthusiastic at the very beginning, but was pushed pretty hard. I don't think he had public spats with other mods, or banned any of them.

mods are really quite 20 century

legally no mods are the way to go

and less rules

The CCNet approach eh - no registration, anonymous posters and top quality banter all day long - & not a bed wetter in sight.
Now ruined by forced registration and over moderation & a pale shadow of its former self

There must be a place for an un-restricted forum - or are owners of the infrastructure too risk averse to host such a venue?
