The plus side is a calmer atmosphere than a lot of message boards and the thinking behind the decision was to have greater control over what is published. The downside is that it makes it far more difficlut to develop a true community because the members are not able to set their own boundaries and moderate from within.

I can imaging that you get a lot of casual posters who may not be aware of the T&C of your space, rather than a nicely embedded community, and that may be the reason that you take this line. is it also something to do with sub judice and or libel? I'd be interested to hear the reasoning behind the decision. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments apart from pre-moderation, can I ask why you have this?
