They are sometimes different then the drawbacks to the top down moderation method or the unmoderated method, but personally I don't find them to be universally worse. The comparison to Wiki seems inapt to me, as we are not trying to establish any sort of "truth" here, but maintain a discussion board. And really, the same thing happens in all methods, the process just changes. In an unmoderated or lightly moderated board, the truth gets shouted down with insults (it's amazing how self righteous some people can be in their ignorance) and on a moderated board, more subtle insults are declared acceptable by moderators who share the poster's point of view, or at best a remainder is made to be civil in a way not so subtly indicating the discussion at hand is just a matter of opinion.</blockquote>
