Putting the power of censorship into the hands of Moderators or even putting it up to a community vote is to transfer responsiblity away from oneself; if you don't like what someone has to say, ignore it.
I can´t disagree more...

I am/was mod on four websites and there were always people who don´t understand that support don´t mean flaming at the people, so the job of a mod is sure to edit the insults and flames out, or we will loose many members that don´t flame because of some stupid trolls...

This is no censorship if some people are not able to act mature...
