Or the forums will be filled with boring inane posts about what people had for breakfast. No one will be offended. Nothing interesting or funny will ever be said. And life will go on. I don't think overmoderation is any better than no moderation.
If every post is pure drivel (or "dribble" as I have seen used in like 10 posts on here) whether it's offensive or not doesn't matter. I'd rather read funny offcolor/offensive posts than boring "mature" posts.
Sure if it's a response to every post "eat a bag of dicks" gets old quick. But a well placed "fag!" as the only response to a huge well thought out post will still illicit a real out loud laugh. I guess this makes me juvenile or at least means I find humor in the juvenile... Either way I don't think I am alone in finding this sort of thing funny in moderation. I am not saying the forum should ever be allowed to turn into /b/ but there is a reason so many post there... A lot of people find that sort of humor...well...funny?
