Yeah stringent moderation is great but you can do it without being absolutely terrible about every interaction. You can run a clean shop without needing to be a dick about everything. When every close is filled with malice and vitriol it doesn't benefit literally anybody. It's not healthy for the poster being vindictive, it's not healthy for the newbies getting into the business, and it's not healthy for the community overall when the normal thing is berating and belittling.
