This is a good news for Europe. I hope many more country follow their step.

I have a feeling it just means there won't be any social websites based in Poland ever again. If you can't remove spam or off topic posts, your forum goes to shit pretty quick.

On one hand, you are absolutly correct for private business and for review bomb of product. But on the other. A website like SaidIt or 4chan could still be quite popular even with 0 moderation. The upvote system is a partial moderation in a way.

My favorite reddit subs were ones where either the mods are laid back (good luck) or absentee. I think downvoting works great for community self-regulation without the need for arbitrary rules or power trips.

The only downside is many people don't want to have to deal with seeing spam or off topic stuff and downvoting it, but I think that's a small price to pay for not dealing with reddit mods.

Eh I doubt it, honestly. If I made a s/RC_Helicopters and people just turned it into yet another politics sub, and there was nothing I could do about it...well, guess we're not talking about helicopters anymore. And then I would fuck off for a non-Polish site.
