We would certainly prefer to keep content curation to an absolute minimum. If there is anything illegal posted (e.g. kiddie porn, as an extreme), we will remove it as soon as we see it. We haven't really had any real problems with abuse of users by users, so we haven't exactly figured out what to do in that case, other than to say we'll look at it case by case. Beyond that, the site is yours to do as you please. Post what you want; use it as a blog; share your thoughts, or anything else that strikes you. The basic thinking is that if other users find your content compelling they will follow you and share what you post with their followers. Mods aren't necessary, because anyone is free to follow or not follow any other user. Obviously, we can't force people to play nice, but we hope that this format cultivates a respectful, thoughtful atmosphere. If you ever have any specific suggestions, comments or questions, you can post to #bugski, or use the mail feature to send mk, thenewgreen or me a message. Hope you enjoy it here!
