>must have spent a lot of time in the early days filtering out the bad elements of society from this forum

We spent a LOT of time discussing what I shall term "real world" issues -items such as legal liability, copyright infringement, and loooooooooonnnnngggg researching sessions on where other boards (not just those related to SEO) put themselves in jeopardy. Most of the members were veterans of other boards and knew first-hand how boards tend to degenerate. WebmasterWorld was so small that there really wasn't a bad element here, so we all worked on removing the incentives that draw them.
