Hey 1hotbusa,
yeah we did well with no mods - more so on the ezyboard forums - I think the reason is that now when you type Hayabusa in to the Australian google - the club turns up, before it didn't. I think its apart of forums on the Internet, that as they grow - more control is needed to keep them nice & clean, its just because you get all sorts of people with all sorts of back grounds, points of views, working lifes, family all sorts of things. People will clash - the world shows us that.
I have been with overclockers.com.au since it started with only a few hundred people, back then they didn't have mods(6 years ago) - now that forum has well over 20,000 members & is insanely huge. They have lots of mods lol.
But the point of those mods is to up hold what the owner (Agg - also rides an R6!) wanted the forum to be - a nice, friendly place. its hard to up hold it with so many different people & their many different points of view, but they manage well by having moderators & a set process on how to deal with set posts & problem people. Its something the owners or those who made the site or club & those that are chosen as moderators talk about & agree on.
The other problem I have seen on forums is people bringing personal problems on to forums or making personal attacks on other people, on Zgeek.com, where I was also there from the start & know the owner, people got together, the relationship's the grew , some were great - others not so, the ones that went bad ended up all over the forum, while it may seem funny, it really wasn't. Personal attacks & problems shouldn't be all over a forum like this. sure we can bitch about - but personal attacks have no place on here IMO. If you were riding with a group of people would you readily do or say some of the things we might on here at a lunch? or a fuel stop?
mmmm
