Moderation: A HeartyDebate Killer?
This question is primarily directed to whoever it is that makes a particular thread "moderated."
Is moderation promarily to shut down a thread that has becoe too nasty? If so, why not just delete the thread altogether?
Or does moderation primarily serve some other purpose? If so, why aren't users notified when their posts are accepted or declined?
Of course I ask this becuase I spent a good amount of time graciously replying to personal insults on a moderated thread only to find a day later that none of my responses have been posted. In fact, nothing on that thread has been posted in a while, and that thread was one of the fastest growing ones, so I'm sure it isn't lack of original content that caused the growth to dry up.
