Drawing the forum moderation line

nice of you to ask for input, mr. manager.  the main solution/problem that i see with any of the forums is the idea of keeping things on topic.  that makes it much easier to use koreabridge and be in the audience or participate in a discussion.  as amusing as it can be to watch things descend, when things are on topic more information exchanges occur.  for example, if someone asks what the health regulations might be for dog meat, anything about the possible ethics of eating dog are irrelevant-that could be moved to a separate discussion, leaving the original topic intact.  someone may just be doing research and wanting to know what people can share about there topics.  the same goes for wanting to know the location of the best raemen restaurant or the best casiono or the best subway toilets, information is great, it is the social commentary that drags down the information flow.  if someone asks about  people's experience traveling to japan, talk about comfort women would be off topic and distort the flow of information, when all someone wanted to know what is a good place to stay or what the visa laws are, but some people might want to talk about japanese treatment of koreans and that discussion could continue in another forum.   this may be a daunting task, this monitoring, but i do not know.  i do remember just being in the audience for good discussions and being entertained in a good, healthy way in between classes.  now it seems that there is a great deal less of that.  oh, to deal with that 'censorship' word, every comment that contained off topic things could be sent to the SAME forum, creating a space where people could continue the onslaughts that lack a proper information exchange/discussion pertinent to the topic, but leaving those posters free to go about their business.  whoa, that got long.  just had a class cancelled.  anyway, thanks for asking and providing this site.  i apolize if i stepped over any lines unbeknownst to me, i'm just a romantic
