I think this speaks to a larger question I'll have to answer, namely what is the threshold for "inappropriate" comments/behavior and how will moderation be enforced?

I'm personally inclined to be fairly hands-off, since I think that censorship (particularly when politics is involved) is a slippery slope. But I also agree that no moderation at all can be a turn-off for many users. I'll have to think about what kind of user content policy would strike the best balance.

The reason HN discussions stay good is because there are strict civility rules that are proactively enforced.
