I'm not talking about open/closed source as it's opensource, but it's private as there are well defined core team+developers, not random people. without moderation it's a mess. It's nice people like to help other people, but it's bad it helps them on that lists with OFF-TOPIC problems. i don't mean moderation like removing one opinions and not others. But removing off-topic messages, that are 95% now or more.
