it's like why moderate? people can just not interact.
censorship is wrong and in the end what you have will not be great.

i only agree in censorship if someone is really not a member of the community 
and are attacking the networks.  for example we have had some crazies over 
the years who flood msg networks and create dumplicate accounts just to 
disrupt everything.

I've seen people get real bad help on their irc network.
i'm not sure if those people had a history of requesting support in a bad 
way.

what i have seen is something like what you said.

in the end it was operator error and they did something wrong and didn't
check on it like they were told.  they lied about what they did all along and 
fixed it and won't say what fixed it.

That's why i just would remote desktop people and fix their issues.  its 
stopped asking 20 questions and finding out that they did something wrong and 
didn't do what the people asked them to do.  doing it for them made it a lot 
quicker with less headache for everyone.  then in a few months they would 
stop running a bbs :D
