I don't think the forum is undermoderated. I think the problem is that it used to be overmoderated and now the rules have been relaxed somewhat so it sometimes seems like things are getting out-of-hand.
Personally, I prefer the forum as it is now. I'll admit that there's no need for name-calling but this happens very rarely. I do find it annoying when threads on the tATu board "turn into a chat room" but, again, this doesn't happen very often. And I think both these things are a small price to pay in order to avoid another rehash of all the conflict and ill-feelings that happened a while ago when several members were banned for spurious reasons.
