I remember it being a huge mix! It really depended on what boards you were on. There were boards I was a member of in 2003 that had very strong moderation and they were great!

I was also on some basically unmoderated boards and saw some stuff I wish I didn't see.

I think this is more indicative of the communities you were a part of than the actual behavioral norms of people at the time.
