JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

As a USPOL lurker, I didn't really see too much of a difference in terms of post quality as a result of slowmode. It was the same, just fewer of them. It did probably prevent some of the more frenzied posts and slapfights that would have come from the RBG news, but of course there's no way to prove that. If the goal is to prevent dumb white noise posts, I guess I'd rather see those kinds of posts dealt with by longer probations to remove the problematic posters from the discussion, rather than inhibiting everyone's ability to post.
