Moderation Enforced

You're not a moderator, you don't see the crap we do. The less you see of it, the better we've done at either cleaning it up, or preventing it from happening.

Yes, but if it's truly a big enough problem to make a change that will affect every other user on the forum, at the very least, it should be a problem for the majority of the forum users as well as the staff right? And if it's truly the case that the moderating is so good that nobody sees it at all, then why change what you're doing? Everything outside of a couple exceptions seems to be fine.

If keeping up this moderating is so taxing on moderators/their time that it's worth filtering the entire forum, then filtering a few threads is obviously not going to cut it and there are bigger problems and most definitely better solutions here.
