From my limited experience at TV, I found their level of moderation to be reasonable. I tried the forum for awhile but was soon discouraged when I found that their moderating was a tad biased toward some individuals. Some got away with a lot while others were censored for replying in kind. Moderating is not an easy job, and the higher the level of moderation, the harder the job is. Regardless, I've decided to drop any forum where freedom of expression, within reasonable limits, is suppressed. If people want to make fools of themselves, call others names or spew nonsense, let them do so. The community can judge others for themselves. I would much rather accept the idiocy of others than censorship. This is one of the strengths of TD.
