I saw some very benign comments deleted, and some really horrifically ugly ones allowed to stand. People interacting in a more intimate forum need to feel that the moderating is solid. And I'm saying this acknowledging that moderating is not an easy job, and it's typically thankless. Although, when this site was very active, people were great about expressing appreciation for the moderators. John, can you give us some insight on what the moderating will look like on the new site? I think it may be hard to draw people back if this topic isn't openly addressed.
