I agree. Sure, we get a fair few idiots on here. But forums with moderation (as in, the moderators will remove posts they don't like) almost always end up as zones of forced politeness and an unwillingness to deviate from the status quo. Besides which, it just pisses people off having their posts deleted.
Note that assigning a score to a post as Slashdot does isn't really moderation, as it is completely advisory and can be ignored by the user.
