Absence of censorship

[XJ Junkie]

I bet I’m not the only one that has noticed a distinct absence of extreme moderation, deleted posts & threads on this forum.

I’ve got a theory on why it’s working so well but it would be interesting to hear others thoughts?

I also notice that the members are adult.

Oh shit, I am supposed to moderate but I’ve been busy. I will try and up my game

[grips]

The difference is the guys here 4x4 in the real letter of the word so keyboard warriors feel insecure in this crowd.

[KurtG]

Another reason is that this forum isn’t full of those useless immature insecure loser-type 4x2’ers..... hey Craig?

Just a different culture.

Don't need to be PC, but because of that, no-one really pushes the envelope.

More action and less words kind of forum.

I like it!

Just don't start on liberals and conservatives.

Nope. That would be a mistake!

Let's just keep things as they are.

A couple of differences between 4x4ag Forum & other renown Forums:
* Members are treated like adults (as mentioned above)
* Moderation is done by a team - not one or two individuals.
* Mods try very hard to NOT moderate.
* Mods look at the context - if a guy says Ranger's are crap, but it is in context, the Mods will allow.
If, however, a guy says Cruisers are crap he is clearly an idiot - it's all about context!
* Fear - if a guy, with say, a Hilux, says the Hilux is better than a Colt - he must know we'll see that as a challenge & set one up!
* ...and lastly - No Pub...

I have not started real post yet

Thanks Mods

[Shane]

So this type of post would be unacceptable?

This is a very new & relatively small forum so it’s difficult to compare, but there’s some truths that are glaringly apparent.

My take is that 4x4’ing as a subject focus has had zero impact on the tone & behaviours on this very new forum.

I think that the attraction so far is the lack of moderation personal agendas, as well as the absence of a control freak that’s living in the past with regards to internet platforms & how to manage them.

To all intents & purposes, this forum is largely self-regulated by its members.
Censorship would ruin it, just like the old dying platforms.

I agree.

I do think as this forum is specifically a 4x4 forum, it will not have thousands of members, but it will also not have the same turnover iro members as other forums.
