Yes, that is an unfortunate side-effect of opening up to each and everyone no matter their tastes. Not all is lost though, if they manage to implement a functioning moderation system which allows individual users to limit their exposure to 'shit' they might just pull it off. It should be possible for users to choose a level of exposure, something ranging from 'cesspit' to 'spring water' and everything in between. The default should be just above 'cesspit' so that the most odious comments are 'greyed-out' by default but can easily be seen by those who want to. This should make the system less sensitive to the various forms of group think which moderation systems often stimulate. I had a look around and saw it was possible to 'Block' and 'Report' comments or commenters, this is a start but it probably needs to be fleshed out for the site to have appeal to a larger public.
