Over the past 9 or 10 years (I was 19 when I first got on line, I've just turned 29, so coming up to 10 years I guess!) I've been online, I have probably been part of, ooh, a hundred or so forums.
Over the years, and through experience, I now only post at about 5. I post at the 5 where I feel safest from other posters.
Un moderated sites are NOT safe what so ever in my eyes. I moderated site I used, that the "managers" went AWOL from so it became un moderated.. I was suffering daily attacks there, hourly attacks, with personal info about myself being posted.
The thing that ahs kept me at PB for 5 years has been a) the lovely people I have become so close to. and b) the moderating style.
Now, I'm not saying Dr Bobs moderating is prefect. No one on earth is perfect. Its some times over heavy handed, its sometimes a bit wierd.. But all in all, when I weigh up the last 5 years, he keeps us safe from attacks, and will stand up for us if we are attacked.
I take safety from attacks over being blocked. Yes, I ahve been blocked, and *every* single time I've received a PBC or block I have known full well it was coming, and had decided what I wanted to say was more important to me than being blocked.
