There's the advantage of moderation, but the disadvantage is that is slows the site down (e.g. I'm supposed to be the moderator today, but I've just been asleep for 8 hours). At the time of setting sci.math.research up there wasn't really the machinery available to have the whole community moderating. That's the breakthrough this site offers. | |
