Imo AskHistory can be boring as hell because of the heavy-handed moderation. I get the effect that they're going for, and it works, but it's frustrating to go into an interesting topic to see every comment deleted and a mod warning at the top.

And they take their rules to the point of absurdity. I've seen many occasions where a commenter had direct personal experience with the event being asked about, and provided proof they were whom they said they were, but their comment was still deleted because "no personal anecdotes."

It's AskHistory, not AskForPersonalAnecdotes. History has the advantage of multiple personal anecdotes being cross-checked and compiled into a more or less reliable account. A personal anecdote may be interesting but not representative of anything.
