Now it has been accpeted wisdom that moderators are supposed to tame threads anbd posters down, but is 1 sided moderation, moderating the extreme really fair?
What about "moderating" people who post too timidly? I mean ther are tons of things you can do as a moderator to spice up a post, insert a racist comment attributed to that person, changing thier sig to something more thought provoking. In short keeping the boards alive by making them more intersting.
What do you think?

Interesting trivia:
In a nuclear reactor, a moderator slows down neutrons in order to increase the likelihood of useful collisions. The purpose is to ensure that useful, productive collisions are occuring rather than useless, random collisions.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time for no good reason.
