Moderation Threads
I appreciate some people's frustration with the threads that turn personal and / or childish in this forum, however there is a phonescoop forum to discuss those issues. there is also a flag button you can use to alert us when threads spin out of control.
we're sorry when this frustrates you, but please give us some time to take care of any errant threads. there are just 2 of us. we work very hard to make sure phonescoop is a great site, so we have many responsibilities to maintain this site.

I'm a long-time veteran of lots of different e-mail lists. Some of them deal with extremely controversial topics that lend themselves to "over the top" responses.
I have a couple of suggestions for changing how you're moderating phonescoop. Please don't take these suggestions as criticisms. I think you're doing a great job, and it's not the fault of the moderators that some people have such weak communication skills that things spiral into name-calling rants.
Option 1 - certain lists could be moderated, meaning no one can post unless the message is approved by a moderator. There is obviously no way that 2 people could do this alone. You'd need to have someone help you - maybe a few volunteers.
