I know, I was just clarifying what our take here has been. We try to walk the fine line between too much moderation and too little. It's not easy and we won't please everybody, but we try.

We should at least have a couple of boards with no moderation. Then those that need babysitters can just not do there.

A couple of boards have a bit more hands-off moderation, for various reasons. I won't get into it. It would be a question for Admin. But the thing is, we can't entirely do away with moderation even over there, for two reasons.

One, people should still feel free to report stuff to us, even from those boards. We can't curtail the right of members to report to us stuff that makes them uncomfortable, and we will look into everything that is reported regardless of where it comes from (it doesn't necessarily mean we will act on everything).

Two, we are hosts of the larger company ProBoards and must uphold their minimum standards for appropriate content, so we can't fully have a free-for-all area and ignore gross violations of ProBoards' standards.

The bottom line is that the Terms of Service do apply across all of IMDBv2, but we might be a bit more hands-off in certain areas.
