Internet forum mods. Are they really necessary?
Are they?? Would forums go to hell in a hand basket without chaperones?

There necessary to keep the order around any given forum so as to avoid any form of abuse, offense, spam etc etc. Which does actually happen around these boards.

i think that it depends on the focus of their task. imho a mods' sole purpose should be to eliminate malicious people who exist online in order to disrupt and annoy. i would argue that this alone was the original inspiration for people on newsgroups demanding moderation. most people can deal with rudeness without having to cry to some parental gaurdian unit. what really matters imho is that people are in place with the authority to deal with mischievous e-sabateurs.

Yeah. They can lock useless threads, and get rid of useless people. Sounds pretty good to me.

Well on occasion. A moderator is needed when you do not know who is coming in.

I think the Movie Discussion forum needs a little cleanup. The first objective should be to actually make it a respectable forum about movies.

Stupidest thread ever conceived. Perhaps a forum mod could make use of their use by example in this thread.
