Most folks here are adult enough to self-moderate. We moderate, but we don't generally have to use as heavy a hand as most moderators are used to. I tend to worry about folks who think they need to be moderated - why do they not have any self-control? Why do they think they need a daddy looking over their shoulder all the time?
Sometimes, critters that have been kept in captivity too long are reluctant to leave their cages when set free. Freedom can be scary to be sure, but for those bold enough to seize it when offered, they find that they can eventually get used to it.
We have occasionally had situations that needed to be calmed down, and we did so, but they are rare. Rarer still are folks with a desperate need to be banned. We've only had to ban two people in the 7 or 8 years we've been operating,and I think that's a pretty good record, and speaks to the level of maturity of our membership.
