Does anyone know of a message board of this size, that is run “democratically” and/or without moderators, that runs as smoothly as this one does?

I’m all about the mods too. The board doesn’t belong to us, we’re not ‘citizens’ and have no real rights. Just don’t be an idiot and inconsiderate and you should be OK.

Really, why do we waste so much energy on this? The rules are so clear.
