Was recently thinking the same thing.. I'm all for freedom of speech but a lot of the drama and discontent that we're dealing with is coming from RnF. It doesn't really serve a point aside from a place for people to fight and bitch. I also think we do need a bit more moderation here. This a lot of times is the public face of the server.. This is what people see before they actually download titanium and start playing. I guarantee that people will be turned away if all they see is drama, trolling, and bitching. Obviously everyone wants freedom of speech but personally I'd rather be able to play classic EQ than troll on a forum.

The obvious solution is to remove RnF posts from the "Recent Threads" area on the home page, then. That way, new users have to navigate to RnF purposely. Hell, include a disclaimer in the forum description even, for folks unfamiliar with how message boards work.
And frankly, a lot of people would be turned off if they came to a message board where everyone was getting along, giving one another reach-arounds and behaving perfectly civilly. It would be boring to a lot of people, myself included. You'd still have your nostalgia machine, but it would be far less organic and authentic. That's what censorship does: it turns everything sterile. RnF needs an enema, not a lobotomy.
