any official message board MUST be moderated.
Censorship is bad, as long as its the opinions you censor, if its the language
its fine. People should be allowed to have their opinion, but they must
express it in a civil manner.
So i wote for moderation.
Sincerly

across some rather unpleasant postings by some of our

and the project as a whole.
There may be more, but I found the derogatory postings
in the 'Please...' thread, and the "Blue screen of
death" thread.
I hope this is an isolated incident, but if it keeps
up, we may have to have a dedicated forum moderator to
keep things civil in there. Some people just dont
know how to be nice to each other.
Then you'll get endless debates over where moderators should draw the
line. Personally i don't like censorship, and i think only exceptionally
disrupting postings (like the one concerning Betov, and the one which
links to the source code) should be removed. It might however be better
if we'd require a login...
Though on my own RosAsm Board, i am in favour of a "zero sensorship" rule,
for a Board like ReactOS one, keeping completely free from war threads is
a must. There is no limit to what the Anti-Gpl guys are able to do.
Also, forcing to registration would be much more frustrating, IMHO, than
deleting offending and WW3 threads.
