In my experience the moderators step in very swiftly when things get way out of hand, most moderation on here seems to be more informal with people politely nudging a thread back on track when it wanders a bit.
The Mods have a large area to cover and they are more concerned with rule breaking (especially of the kind that brings the site well into the legal danger zone).
The informal nature of the majority of the minor moderation on here adds to the general friendly atmosphere of the place and it would be a shame if it became overly moderated to the point where people became too fretful or nervous to post interesting and potentially useful ideas (and the odd joke here and there).
