Reluctantly, yes we do need a Moderator
There are the same few 'contributors' to almost every nasty spat.
There are an even smaller number of initiators.
When the name calling starts, I just unsubscribe. The name calling usually terminates any useful information or help anyway. It just becomes an ugly ,bullying and childish exchange. So it is a waste of time to stay subscribed.
So when the mud-slinging starts, the lack of Moderation obstructs the Forum objective of mutual help with our Boxster problems.
The generally polite and cordial tone of this Forum is what I enjoy. There is another forum where nastiness seems to be tolerated - even condoned. Interestingly the trouble-makers from this Forum seem to be even more vitriolic there. One offender here was banned from the other site - he uses a different 'name' but we all know who he is...
A timely reminder from a Moderator of the Forum Rules and Objectives or a time-out would be helpful for the hot-heads.
That way we keep useful members who just need a little help moderating their statements.For these reasons I suggest all parties would benefit from Moderation..
