Thanks vivster for this thread. You obviously put a lot of energy and time into it.
I do agree. Threads are the lifeblood of the forum, and they should be introduced with forethought.
That said, I'm a little ambivalent because some of those questionable threads do bring in more clicks and comments, even if they're earned for the wrong reasons. More relaxed moderation means more crappy posts and users but also more content and more activity.
When I was a mod I think I was more conservative (maybe TOO conservative) and thus cracked down more quickly on bait and "garbage" threads, which may have led to more meaningful conversation but which probably also led to a chilling effect.
So I dunno. It's a challenging balancing act, keeping thread content at a high level and also keeping the forums populated and active.
