You raise a good point, but there is still something of a trade-off, I suppose. Were it not for P&R, some of the annoying characters would not be posting on your site at all. So the free rein attracts the kind of posters who add traffic but possibly diminish the brand. Where to draw the line, eh? I understand the idea of a basement, and I think it's actually a good thing. But if you kept up with the maintenance and cleaned out the corrosive debris from time to time, it might be a nicer place to come home to.
The downside is many among the corrosive debris are volume posters, ergo page views.You raise a good point, but there is still something of a trade-off, I suppose.

I did note the traffic component, which is what makes it a trade-off, in my opinion. And since it's Baron's show, he gets to make that trade-off irrespective of what any one of us thinks. It is his business and livelihood, after all. And evidently, he sides with you.
FF : Baron is not a stupid lad.
I can tell you, that when your whole lot was swallowing lies and misinformation,
his intuition and core principles was guiding him well. That's not something one acquires
easily: it is a very deep knowledge of human nature. Baron knows his stuff.

If you were me, who would you ban today?
I don't understand why volpunter just simply doesn't read the stuff. This is typical "change your world view to orient around mine" type stuff. The real question should be "I cannot understand why I'm unable to simply ignore that which makes me upset."

Perfectly stated, and I continually have a hard time understanding why some folks show no control, no discipline, and feel obligated to click on things that they know will upset them! And then compound the problem by whining endlessly about it, demanding the world conform to their notions of decency and propriety. One of life's enduring mysteries, I guess.
zzzz1 fails to understand that FAKE news and racism is often in the eye of the beholder.
A right winger decides its fake news to say all immigrants come here to work.
A left winger decides its fake news to say we need to control immigration from muslim countries.
You wind up banning everyone but the wimps with no world view
