Hi all,

I have in the past had excellent experiences with moderated forums. The difference between a moderated forum and an unmoderated one is that a moderated forum has certain standards of behavior that are enforced, whereas in an unmoderated forum such as this one (comp.databases.theory) anyone can say anything without consequence.

If you've ever been hestitant to post here because of the written abuse that sometimes results, you might enjoy a moderated forum.

If you'd like to discuss theory in a moderated forum, you might want to check out:

http://www.galahtech.com/

and particularly:

http://www.galahtech.com/forums/index.php?showforum=97

This is a website with moderated discussion forums for various technical subjects, including, most recently, database theory. It's just getting off the ground, so don't expect much yet. But it could evolve into something interesting with the right participants. Maybe that's you!

ObDisclaimers:

  1. Me Not Affiliated.
  2. I've heard all the arguments against moderated forums and I'm not interested in discussing whether they are good for society or whatever. If you're interested, great; if you're not, don't go there.
