Sunwolf:
You'll note early on I qualified my statement in regard to non-moderated boards. There tends to be some fairly big separations between unmoderated, lightly moderated, medium moderated and heavy moderated boards (and no, these aren't precise terms, but they're broad enough to be somewhat useful; this is a lightly moderated board by my standards, for example). The majority of gaming BBSes are lightly to moderately moderated; very few are heavily moderated (such as the bagpiping board you're refering to) and a few are effectively unmoderated. As such, people coming from a heavily moderated environment are going to find most gaming boards a bit rough at best.
