Perhaps there is too little moderation on this board.

Ten messages in 6 month is unbelievable, no wonder that there is almost
constantly flame wars going on.

Personally I think it is better to swiftly delete the posts whos obvious intent
is to provoke, it's better than having to put out a big fire at its peak two
days later.
