I reposted these in our Moderator forum where I moderate. Most of us
have been long-term moderators or administrators for these forums
(c. 7 years for some).
A lot of the points really clicked with me, as one of my favourite
forums on the site has downticked in quality of late. I was even
forced to put up a pinned note on self-policing. I think a lot of
this post above applies to our situation.
The moderator response, within the first few minutes has been
appreciative. Especially the disemvowelling, which none of us had
ever heard of before. We don't frequently get trolls, maybe twice a
year (I suppose we're luckier than most), but I'll try it out the
next time we find one. Our biggest problem is spambots.
I enjoy your thoughts and I'm definitely going to keep reading in
the future.
