> I think it's better to moderate only incivility, bigotry and the like, as bans on "trolling" appear to have morphed into bans on dissent at some point

This is a built-in problem (the built-in problem?) with censorship. There can not be community oversight of the censor's work because the censor's work is to hide things from the community. The result is that the censor is free to extend its power at will.




Which is why I like HNs approach, showdead - off by default
