You must be the "tough-guy" forum troll. I'm sure you'd make a great moderator here. But I'm confused are you saying these forums don't need more moderation?

Actually, no. Please, play again.

I'm sure you'd make a great moderator here. But I'm confused are you saying these forums don't need more moderation?

The forums are dead (as far as intelligent discussion and non-repetition are concerned) and have been that way for almost a year now... There isn't a need for moderation. If there is any more moderation, the fuel in which keeps these threads even going will die out.

Welcome to fixed.

The only posters are four types:

A - Blow Hards. They agree simply to fit in. They cannot CONCEIVE of having an independent thought stream.
B - Trolls. They are just here for the lulz. They don't even know what Tom really IS.
C - Robots. Argumenteam Ad Nauseam. They partially give the Blow Hards a reason to assimilate the lie.
D - Mods - Downse Syndromites with a badge. The end.

Welcome to failure. No matter what you discuss, it will ALWAYS dissolve. This is by design.

Well I guess the problem has been identified. And, sorry to be the "noob" that has to tell the forum regular this, but you are very wrong.
http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0
Depending on how you have your pagination set-up (default is 30 items), you'll notice 30 members.
5 are serious, or at least do a good job pretending to be. And not all 5 are active.
4 really try hard to convince others they are serious, when all their posts clearly are not.
21 are unarguably either trolls or spammers.

This is because the moderation here is poor. There is no effort to keep posts on topic, or to reduce spam. I will admit, that pornography is removed in a timely manner, so there is still some success. It's a breeding ground for trolls, and the member list is evidence.
