17. He's mostly leaving it up to the juries and hosts until the primaries are over.

He's noted in the ATA forum that he disagrees with a lot of what's going on around here, but that once it was turned over to the jury system, they're pretty much letting the "community" handle it. The TOS really hasn't applied for a while now, in any form. It's basically dartboard moderating.

Obviously, that doesn't work (as he's also noted), but I don't think they've been willing enough to override some of the more obvious nonsense. There was a post earlier today broad-brushing all "establishment" (read: not Sanders) Democrats as Republicans. In the "old" days, that's a tombstone. Now, it's applauded. It was voted 2-5 leave.

In fairness, maybe there's just too much of it to handle, though that's a self-inflicted wound.
