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.

Betov.

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.

I'm willing to moderate as long as there are some clear rules. Also,
iirc enabling forum moderation is already on Jasons todo list, and afaik
atm only Jason himself can moderate.

It is unfortunate that some can not express themselves
wihtout the use of vulgarity.
