No. I really don't believe that csa2 should be moderated. I think that
we should just try to stop flaming each other. That's all. I think that
moderation would just create more headaches. I forsee more than just
"Stroker Ace" posts being "censored."

I also like the fact that if I post a question, I usually get a reply
within a few hours. It would take days if this group were moderated.
And, what would happen if the moderator went on vacation?

No, Moderation would just be more trouble than it's worth.
