   I agree, although moderation-as-default has become very (and I would 
say unduly) controversial in recent years.  Moderation solves a lot of 
problems and while it's a tool often brought in for active problems, 
it's much better as a tool for preventing flame wars, spam, and weird 
off-topic discussions.
