Fast moderation causes a lot of problems. It causes more spam, stupider topics, more time wasted on the message boards, and the mods forced people to use auto-signatures just because they wanted faster noderation. If the moderation was slower...

Less people would spam,  people would have way more time to think about what they're posting and be able to have meaning in their posts, and people could use wahatever signatures they want.

This is how it works... When moderation is fast, posts are coming in quickly, and everyone is thus wanting to post to make sure they don't fall behind on anyone. Everyone trying to get as many posts as they can. The posts are moderated quickly, which allows other users to reply to them as soon as possible. It's an endless cycle of people wanting to get posts as fast as possible.

When the moderation is slow, posts come n slowly. If someone tries to rush through all the posts they need to reply to, they'll find they have more time than they would if the moderation was fast, because not as many posts would be coming through...

You get the point... I hope. Actually spam has gone way down. Back in the "golden era" the spam was terrible.

As I previously stated even with slow times, people spammed. Terribly.

So, falling behind a topic creates spam? How the brick do you figure that?

So no, I don't understand.
