It is claimed on another thread that some Mudcat members are/were under the impression that this is an unmoderated forum.

1. Does anybody believe this now?
2. Do you think it should be moderated?
3. Did you join believing the site to be unmoderated?
4. Does moderation make you want to leave again?
5. How many unmoderated sites do you know of? {Please supply URLs to confirm}

To my mind an unmoderated site would give free rein to bucketmouths, and personal insults, pornography, unlimited spam, and proselytising by extreme political groups. It would mean for those who [allegedly] never venture downstairs, the prospect of non music topics being posted in the musical section and vice versa. I for one would almost certainly leave, and while that might please some, the other people who would also undoubtedly leave in such a situation would definitely be a loss to this site we all like so much.
