Nothing special. I can't run this forum all by myself. There are more than 3000 messages posted daily. I therefore have to enlist the help of a team to help prevent spamming.
That leaves me with time to perform the technical tasks such as database and server maintenance plus upgrades and updates.
All forums have spam controls in place. It would be a huge mess here otherwise.
If you want a forum where you have complete freedom to do as you please, you can easily start one of your own and you'll have absolute say as to what can and cannot be posted. You can get the software from
http://www.vbulletin.com and there are plenty of hosting companies eg
http://www.hostican.com who will do the server set up and run the installation scripts for you if you're not familiar with pearl, mysql, php etc. Their tech support rate is in the region of USD75 per hour. Getting a forum up and running should take less than 3 hours.
