And who decides what's crap, and what is funny? I think that other visitors can reply to crap, and tell it is crap. Freedom of speech and stuff, ya know?
.
I think only ilegal postings (discrimination 4e) , spam and empty postings ( like the one kickstart posted ;) should be moderated, not ordinairy content and jokes...
.
>Yes, you did send a dupe.
Didn't post twice. Maybe my compu got slow, and doubleclicked for itself, but I sure as hell didn't...
.
>And besides, I "hink" your joke totally sucked.
That's your personal opinions, and personal opinions should NEVER EVER be the reason for moderation! It's illegal to do so, unless you attent your visitors to it clearly that you moderate on a base of personal opinion...
.

>joke in the first place, only its copy.
He moderaetd both together, NOT only the joke! He's Lame with a big L!
.
>Besides, since you are a "moderater" you should know
>the score. Are you a slashdot "moderater"?
Nope, I'm a real moderator. I moderate the discusion boards of the 5th biggest digital city of the netherlands, I am one of the webmaster there and I run the HTML department of it!

That's fine. But with slashdot it's clearly stated on what base will be moderated: When, Where and Why! With this moderation there is no WWW, just the Personal Humble Opinion of the moderator...
.
>So "trow away" your bitching, I "hink" kickstart is a
>really decent "moderater".
He IS a decent moderater... When he's not moderating ;))
.
Maybe a list of WWW ('rules' on what will be moderated and what's not) would be the thing we need here.
.
And just to make sure you get it: According to the law there's a certain amount of 'freedom of speech'. If your discussion board doesn't have a disclaimer on what's being moderated, you just CANN'T moderate ANYTHING, because that moderation would be illegal practice...
