Of course I do. I have root privs on the database by definition. I don't modify posts. However, if they sink into schoolyard antics, I hide them.

The rules are simple. No direct attacks.

Argue the points.

Words like "Stupid," "Ignorant," etc. can only mean some kind of direct attack.

Remember, kids read these posts too. Don't let this limit your content. Let it prevent your slippage into needless personal attacks.

This goes for all of you.

I realize there are very different opinions around here. Debate is wonderful. Spitting contests aren't. I know the difference.

I really don't have time to moderate this stuff, but I find I must to protect my audiance.

Perhaps offloading the moderating to others might make sense. I would have to code this capability in. Perhaps assigning the moderating task to, say, a team of 5 people with majority rule makes sense. What do you all think?
