I don’t think being adults and having flags are mutually exclusive. In fact flags are important because mods aren’t always everywhere. The self-moderation approach they propose there sounds like a nightmare

“Self moderation” sounds like a nightmare.

I’ll skip, don’t need yet another place to discuss what will just be a duplicate of what’s already available to me.

The 9to5fs model looks pretty unique for a forum - an expectation that everyone will get along and will allow others to call them out if they dislike what’s been posted.
Early days - but I wish them every success.

Yep will be interesting to see how it pans out with no moderators.

It’s not going to be difficult to not have moderators on a forum of about 8 people, half of which have joined out of curiosity and will never go back.

I’ve had my account approved on the Monzo forum. They don’t have much to make a decision on though. Just email, username and optional name.

I think it’s so that they can block accounts from problematic IPs. They’ll also have to review your first post

The baseline seems to work quite well though.
I tried to create a dummy account to see what prompts and messages new users signing up would see. But I deliberately made the account as a parody of @anon46977588, by using the username TheRealRevels and the name Maltesers are better. The email was just a short alpha numeric throwaway proton email that I had lying around in my toolbox for signing up to things I’m unsure of. They rejected it right away because it looked a little sus.
I imagine they can also potentially collect other things like your browser fingerprint and IP too, and reject on those grounds too.

What’s with the moderation here? I’ve made 4 posts so far and each one needs to wait to be approved! It’s a bit silly, if you approve the first 1 or 2 surely you don’t need to keep doing it, it’s a bit ott
Hi @Cookies
Any users with trust level 0 require posts to be approved. We had some issues with users registering under fake names and claiming to be others, so rather than block the sign up, the first few posts require approval.

Dozens - I do like how they now integrate and communicate with the members through the community.
FintechForumUK - No issues with moderation here. I think the team do a sterling job.
Revolut - Just unusable with needing posts approved first.
Monzo - Clique community where the moderator’s little darlings can say whatever they want, to who they want, but if another member retaliates, the flagging crew arrive and it’s that member who adds up blocked/suspended.

Probably will be for the foreseeable since the interaction is zero and the threads are pretty dead
I also don’t really use Revolut anymore
That didn’t hold you back from stirring up the Curve Community. Loved it. 
I think I’m banned there now
