But you are right about moderation though, it would be the best way to solve the problem.
Like I said, the other from I frequent allows you to post from the get-go, but is heavily moderated. I couldn't decide whether this was from the maturity of the general user base anyway, and combined with the modding. If you did read the rest of my posts, I said it would be better if people voted on things so we could come to an argreement on what would be the best way to go about looking after a Serious Discussion thread.

Most people voting would be the older members or the " smarter" members.
So obviously which ever option put new members/unpopular members " below" us would win.
Not intentionally though it's just unconscious stereotyping towards those who are new/not really known.
We really don't need that type of thing on this forum just like Tyrien said.
I doubt this forum is going to be created anytime soon.
For now all members need to come together have a discussion about each others egos.
Egos are generally what lead to those immature arguments.
Also we need to come to terms that debating is arguing and sometimes the mods just have to let it fly as long as it stays on topic.
Nothing should be closed like it is nowadays until it turns into, "My penis is bigger then yours! You're ugly!" crap.
Alot of members on this forum just love to bring up each others flaws which usually end up getting a topic closed.
It's so preschool.

It worked fine, I made a moderator specifically for that forum so the other mods didn't have to worry about it, but could mod it if they wanted to. Every once and a while there would be someone who thinks they're funny. Two habits formed after a little while of this: One other people would ignore them, but if they commented on them would take the post seriously, or not make it the topic. The second was these people would receive temp bans ranging from a day to a week depending on how idiotic it was, sometimes more. Other members noticed this and realized not to dick around in their unless they were legitimately interesting in discussing the subject coherently.
