Default 'Lounge type of Forum'

I tend to agree that this type of forum can get very bitter and twisted if not kept in check has to be kept under continual moderation. This can give rise to accusations of heavy handed moderation and other such unpleasantness. The AP Forum does sometimes get that way but offensive posts/threads are deleted immediately they are seen.

I am forum administrator for a forum dealing with a well known marque of motorcycle and I know the problems this can raise. When I took the job over 2 years ago it was a real hornets nest. The decisions taken by myself and the moderators had to be ruthless and firm which upset a few but now it ticks along quite nicely.
