Ironic, since you were the one who started this thread questioning the early handling of this website.

Still feel that way now? You most likely won't get your account frozen here (or banned, or whatever terminology they throw around), no matter how you challenge the owners in your posts.

I think the most accurate term is deleted, shades of "the final solution". I am happy to admit that my first impressions of this site are proving to be groundless, and the simple courtesy displayed by the owners is a refreshing change.

How to reign that in without over moderation and deleting posts is the big problem any forum moderator faces.

Bit of an exaggeration... try 2 pages, of a 4 page topic.... a little more realistic.

Really? Have you seen this complete circle jerk? 15 pages, 90% of which is by 2 poster's back and forth nonsense.

HA HA HA! Great to see you can keep your sense of humour around all these religious nuts! Karma, mate, karma...

I just scanned the first 3 and last 3 pages of that topic. Of those 6 pages I only saw a single page with less than 4 people commenting, and none with less than 3. It's a single thread on a topic which apparently most here don't have a strong interest in... but 2 people do, so are discussing it heavily.

[Edit: I also just jumped to page 8 in it, so see what was going on near the middle... tons of people posting who weren't those "2 poster's back and forth nonsense".]

When you have 2 people who disagree, there WILL always be a back and forth... it's called a conversation. Sometimes others will chime in, or even dominate the conversation... sometimes not. Do you suggest that we shouldn't allow conversations? Or that we should somehow force others to participate more while 2 people are having one?

Are you reading those posts? When a thread deteriorates into a slag fest then why not move it to the asinine forum? The "multiple other posters" you see there are all basically only saying "enough of this, dude, shut up".

But whatever. Leave it. who cares anymore?
