In my opinion, the mods are doing a very good job of keeping The Pub civil and a nice place for having light-hearted, humorous, but also informative and insightful discussions about RPGs.
If the emerging effect of their actions can be conceptualized as "No Politics", then I'm up for that kind of "No Politics".
Sure, sometimes things get a little heated, but that's life.
In essence, this Pub continues the tradition of free discourse, free speech (with some necessary alterations) and debate of late 90s and early 2000s, before the shitty Culture Wars.
I think the intent of the creator of this site, and his helpers, has a great deal of influence on what's happening in there. It hasn't escaped my notice either that the majority of them are a tad older than your typical RPG audience. That can't hurt (experience has to give you some good things besides grey hair, I suppose ).
An important point, I would say, is that this site is not monetized according to the (dark) tenets of negative marketing - it doesn't induce negative emotions to keep its audience captive in a sickly addictive miasma of dark emotions - differing, for example, from the way the RPG Pundit's site is operated. Pundit is an interesting bloke, who has much to offer the RPG scene, but I fear his money-making negativity machine could lead to his demise.
Anyway, thank God for small blessings.
