Maybe this hasn't occurred to you, but most forums do have the feature where posts can be reported. Nothing special about it.
Oh, I'm aware. I just never heard anyone brag about it. It's sort of like taking a bow for reminding the teacher that she forgot to give us homework. Seems an odd point of pride.
And you (or any moderator) are going to do what you are going to do and run things how you see fit. I've had numerous supposedly treasonous and seditious posts deleted over the years. That's just life in the big city.
We all know the deal. If we didn't make our peace with it, we would not be here.
