Everyone has a strong opinion. They aren't going to change this just because of data or argument, because to do that would be giving up their world view. Thus rational argument is treated as personal attack, things get emotional, and the only posts that then get responded to are the troll ones.

The solution is 'Nazi' moderation. Zero tolerance, all trolling or personal attacks or off-topic posts receive short bans without warning. It works on the pro video game site Team Liquid, which manages constructive discussion despite a high user count.

Isn't there a way to do it without being Nazi? I mean I'm just wondering if there is the possibility of having a solidarity group. I mean, between people who want to remain neutral and foster healthy discussion. Is that something that's possible without getting rules involved? I just wish those who wanted a better place could rally and unite to help fix this problem, it's becoming a plague.
