There are, as you say, other sites where moderation - if any - is minimal, and it seems that anything goes!Nope, I didn't think you meant us. I was just stating our position and like you, how others deal with this issue... or not deal with it as the case may be. There are a couple of gun forums that I go to occasionally, and there is no monitoring of copyrighted material, just about anything goes with copy/paste. Our members here are very mindful of what and how to post here, and we a very proud that you all keep these forums as good as you all do. As a result, our moderators have little to do but to chase away the spammers that show up. And that's another thing, I look through some forums and spam prevails with no apparent effort to curb it. Here, we are constantly chasing away and banning spammers, sometimes before they even have a chance to complete their registration. Trash talk and rabble-rousing are just about non-existent here as well. We rarely have to lock a thread or delete one because it got out of hand or way off topic.

As a result, Mikey, myself and all the mods are proud of what we have here and it wouldn't be this way without the dedicated and conscientious members we have here. We are humbly pleased.
