Board moderation is an art, not a science. Ultimately, it's a task that depends as much on the members of the board as it does on any ideas that the moderators have about how things should be handled. Every board's moderation must be orchestrated to embrace the culture of the bulk of its participants. That means that the level of moderation varies from group to group. In some groups, for instance, there is a looser standard towards "trash talking" and joking around because many members seem to enjoy it rather than get angry over it. The tricky thing is to help confine that banter between those who find it fun without letting it spill over onto those who find it offensive. All of this has to be done with an approach that accomplishes that goal without simply sterilizing board conversation into boredom."

 

So, what you're saying is that the MAJORity rules?!??!?!? Oh man, that just made my pants tight.

Note that this means the REAL majority, not the vocal majority, AND that it is balanced as well by the desires of the board sponsors - CGC in this case. My point was that the comics forum generally has a different standard of moderation than the water cooler, which is different from the coin board, etc. etc.
