Even forum.bitcoin.com moderators will have to delete some posts, so I guess it's a case of choosing your preferred censor.
Agreed. My own preference is the Ignore button, but it gets compromised when people quote trolls while troll-jousting - a perfect opening for tag-team trolling, and of course one has to resist the temptation to ignore people just because of disagreement.
It looks like Ver's new forum does not (yet) have an Ignore button so from that perspective BCT could win easily if its mods restrain their inner nanny. They will do as they choose and the market will decide what it likes, I guess. At this stage, a Streisand effect seems to be building.
I'm just a spectator - no skin in the game - so I just watch with detached mild concern so far.
