The moderators do an excellent job in my humble opinion. I have had a lot of problems on other places like Findlaw many years ago when there seemed to be no limits on what could be posted. Or, almost no controls.
To explain a little about how bad things can become. On Findlaw I was writing about improving things in libraries for survivors of crimes by creating a massive dialog between many various groups. I was helping a person accused of white collar crime going in person to law libraries all over the Tampa Bay area.

I was getting all kinds of personal attacks from a person who used hundreds of different names.




At the same time a soldier on a base in the US was having problems getting help for his girlfriend who was having all kinds of serious mental health problems. I had made some good suggestions for resources in the area of the base.

The troll starting pretending to be me and making all kinds of personal attacks. The soldier left Findlaw in frustration but his mentally ill girlfriend drove her car into another car just off base and died from the incident.
