Members of this site that consistently post good/clean posts will eventually become unmoderated.
True, but i would imagine that a lot of people are discouraged from posting to the point of being considered for being unmoderated. As it stands I interact on this website when EVERYTHING else fails and I have nowhere else to look. At that rate I will probably
hit 50 posts this time next year. For the most part the people who are really benefiting the most are those who can communicate with no retrictions, the rest of us have the ability to eavesdrop on their conversations but communicating with them is drastically
hampered when looking at what the potential is.
I mean, this website is composed and administrated by technical professionals. Using some very basic technology to open the channels of communication seems fairly logical to me. The excuse that trolling and spammers etc...are the reason for moderation is
absurd. Very basic technology has been around for years to curb unwanted disruptive forum posting and is used by most professional forums to take most the burded off of moderators.
When looking at the incredible technology that microsoft puts out and then looking at a site that is built on that technology one has to ask, what is the real reason for a message board that isn't real time?
