The moderate question is - who decides what is hate-speech or obscenity? So, this would be a new thread to feed. One persons obscenity is another's art. Hate-speech is pretty easy but not easily understood by haters. That's where rules, set down by forum owners/administrators become necessary and necessarily enforced. The enforcement won't be seen as equal by the obscene or haters but has to be done prior to problems. It's like raising children, you have to set down the rules - not make them up as you go.
