Also we have more emoji on this forum and only one of them is the eye roll emoji. My only concern right now would be with moderation. Too much moderation we'll have problems, too little moderation we will have problems. Personally I would favor absolute free speech excluding calls for criminal acts or out right libel.
We should put together a moderation team of people who wouldn't allow their ideological preferences dictate their moderation decisions.
I do plan moderating a bit more than the old forum was moderated. A significant problem at the old forum was thread drift; I plan on splitting threads (something that never happened at the old forum) that way discussions will be easier to follow without any censorship. I’ll also be less tolerant of personal attacks than the old forum was. I don’t plan on being that heavy with the moderation (I hate forums that are over moderated). I do plan on adding other moderators at some point, but the level of moderation required at the old forum was actually pretty low.
