<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2780513, member: 1892&quot;]Doug has thrown his heart and his life into making this forum work. Aside our differences, I understand that at a gut level because I&#039;ve done it too. There are thousands of persons doing just that as we speak, giving their best efforts without compensation towards the furtherance of their chosen community. It&#039;s the backbone of the social Internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what VAMworld needs, the same thing that any and every online community has: effective Moderation. The lack of &quot;pending moderator approval states&quot; is its&#039; Achilles&#039; Heel. It has not yet been really victimized by a truly capable troll, but when/if one does turn his/her attention to it, it will take years to fix because every_single_page will need review by someone qualified to judge the veracity of the information. That&#039;s a lot of pages, and better to be proactive rather than reactive. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve no idea how to make the place better from here; I&#039;m not that wise. I&#039;m only wise enough to understand what&#039;s at risk, and experienced enough to understand the degree of risk. That latter seems to be underestimated.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s an unfortunate truth that most of the progress in VAMming is coming from those whose small contributions are all of the best they can do, and those whose contributions are directly related to the level of their disposable income, which is not normally associated with altruistic motives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
