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 canīt disagree more...

I am/was mod on four websites and there were always people who donīt understand that support donīt 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 donīt flame because of some stupid trolls...

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