Trolls and inattentive moderators just make for a shoddy forum. Moderators who do not participate on a forum are a problem. Censoring discussion of the forum itself plainly shows that the proprietors don't understand the medium they're operating.
In the short time that I've taken an interest in The Mat Forums (out of a long time I've known about them), I've seen each of these. I'm thinking that substantive discussion of USA Wrestling itself is probably not safe, there, either.
This is an unacceptable situation. I'm partly inclined to start making a fuss about it, but no matter what policy changes might be made, there's a conflict of interest there which cannot be avoided. The government should not hold the reins of political discussion, and USA Wrestling is our government (or one of them, anyway).
On another note entirely, if this forum software supports threaded discussions (where replies nest in a tree-like fashion), for the love of God, turn it on. Flat discussions are icky, and quoting the person you're replying to is a nasty workaround.
