And if you truly need an hourly fix of the latest codez and sploitz then you're a misguided black hat. There are plenty of alternatives out there for you to use for swapping illegal materials and sharing evil secrets.

Full-Disclosure is for the sharing of knowledge, ideas, belief systems, and the awareness necessary for good people to achieve and understand how to prove their own security.

What are you looking for today? A call for moderation is counterproductive, but there may be some merit to the idea of blocking endless profane nonsense and flame wars. One idea that might improve the quality of discussions is to leave FD unmoderated for new threads, and moderate any thread that reaches some number of replies. Either moderate all replies or trigger moderated discussion at some point for long threads.
