Aye, the forum just got a lot less interesting and has also lost a genuinely important source of information for many.

But also hopefully purges the raft of Grade A racist, fascist, whateverelseishorrendousist posters we've started to accumulate in there.

Was turning into a Dark Web/Reddit lovechild.
 

I would say I'm disappointed, but with some of the views posted in there over the last few weeks, it was probably for the best.

I agree with both of these statements. Reality is that the mods would never have been able to stay ahead of the toxicity with the ban hammer, no matter how many people they drafted into their ranks. It's just the state of politics across the globe these days.

I would say that the entire history of the Internet suggests that anonymity, interacted with free or low-paid labor tasked with keeping things in line, are hard on our ability to have nice things. We can have them for a while, but eventually the wrong people show up in force, and enforcement capacity just isn't there.

It did seem a bit weird that a load of new forum members decided to post in there around the same time despite not really posting anything in the Everton forum, all with extremist views. Maybe the CA forum could be opened again, but only for posters with over 10m rating?
