I do think this is a good idea.
Overall, I find moderation to be extremely obnoxious. I put up with it because
I'm playing at someone else's house, and I will respect their rules. But it's
definitely annoying. My personal opinion is that the long term effect of stopping
flame-wars is that the overall level of discussion drops, less interesting topics
are posted, fewer people take part, and I get bored.
While it is certainly true that anyone who wants to find a forum where flame
posts are allowed will have no problem doing so, why would any of us want to
go to an unmoderated forum about Thomas the Tank Engine, Microsoft Excel, or
Cerebus the Aardvark? We wouldn't! (Well, I would ... but ... that's not the
point.) We would like to be snide with other Lego fanatics.
The forum should be available only to registered members. Posts should be unmoderated*.
And any time a thread or a post from the regular forum cross the line, they should
be shunted over to this Flame Forum instead of being cancelled.
I know it's not going to happen. So, let's come up with a name for it! I'm gonna
call it "Melted Plastic".

*Here is the only real issue. I WOULD want for the Melted Plastic forum to still
enforce the no-links-to-pages-where-you-can-buy-stuff-that-you-can-buy-here rule.
I would be afraid that people would use this other forum to arrange off-site
sales.
