Many, including me, simply cannot keep up with the volume, making this list less useful than a (properly) moderated one.James T., and all fellow members, I am surprised you used the the term "Generally" in your comment below. For a jurist, committing the logical fallacy of "Glittering Generalities" is unusual.
Your understanding of what censorhip really means is lacking. Your frequent repetition of the mantra above does not make it so.In any event event moderated public forums have proven to be a disaster as shown clearly with the DNSO GA forum for example. The biggest problem with moderated forums is it is a form of CENSORSHIP of a Public nature and involvement and as such has no viable place in a democratic organization such as ICANNATLARGE.ORG is supposed to be. CENSORSHIP in any of it's UGLY forms is WRONG!
Self moderation is the best and really only workable form of moderation that is effective and non-discriminatory.
