We are not very controlling here. Keeping a thread on topic is certainly a goal, but we try to be tolerant and let threads "breathe" as well. "Is MeeGo Dead for Nokia" is a very broad question and while some dialog has deviated I don't see a problem. Then again, I don't moderate this section but it seems whoever does either agrees with me or there have not been any actionable reports.

Bottom line, if you're looking for restrictive, overbearing, anal-retentive moderation, this is not the place. Some posters will disagree but I think the overall actions by moderators back me up on that.

Now back to our irregularly-scheduled on-again-off-again topical rants...
First: Of all my earlier comment about "REAL MODERATOR(S)" was not specifically targeted at anyone, I was talking about an over all experience at the site vs. other sites.

Second: I am the last person to ever preach for any "Heavy-handed" moderation of personal opinions or views on any topic. I am a firm believer in FREEDOM; except when it harms others. Which again leads me to my point, this isn't a free honest debate of opposing views. This is "Nokia Sucks because"... "No they don't because".... and in the end someone gets frustrated and gives up because the arguement is going in circles.

Lastly: My short time here at the site has been spent, learning, helping, and enjoying the fact that this 24 hour community helps strengthen the value of "EVERYONES" Nokia products. I just don't see the value of repeatedly debating any shortcoming of those products, over, and over, and over again...

I guess we just have to agree to disagree on the "lattitude" that threads like this get.

BTW: I wouldn't mind taking you up on your challenge,

A question/Poll to all of us at Maemo.org. Would you like to see more controlling Moderation of the site, or is it fine the way it is?

What do you think?
