As owner of the RSGB-Workshop Group, can I first of all thank you for starting a forum that looks like it will remove the heated non-technical posts there.? ?These were causing several of our members to complain and a few to leave.? It is a technical forum and the majority of the members want just that
Moderation is not 'heavy-handed' there.? Posts are unmoderated and only when a thread become full of off-topic and repeated comments will I lock it.? ?Which is exactly what happened with the "Red Rag"? and "LSB/USB" threads.? ?The latter started out technical but blew out of all proportion.? ?
As for RSGB-Technical - the moderation of every post there delays responses and throws a lot of work onto the only real moderator doing most of it, G3PLX.? ?Yet he still approves of the all-moderated status and seems quite happy with the workload.
