I wonder whether part of the problem here might be that many of the posters on this forum don't have a lot of experience with internet forums. Personally I grew up occasionally reading usenet groups, talk.origins (a usenet group about evolution) for example, and compared to that this forum is incredibly mild and well-behaved. It's simply the nature of the internet that dicussions get heated - it's an anonymous forum, and many of the usual social mores etc. don't apply with much force. Furthermore irony and humor don't come across very well at all and often get misinterpreted.
A slashdot style moderation system is unlikely to work here, and is not necessary. There are too few posts and too few participants. What's needed if anything is for everyone to take this a little less seriously, relax a bit, and develop a thicker skin. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30039 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
