/b/ is a good example of a forum that is only trolls at this point, and as you note it does have some moderation.

Some of the other forums on 4chan might be better examples, but even those have some moderation. Forums like /tg/ have managed to hang on alright, although their total post volume per day is quite small compared to /b/.

and some people enjoy that. you don't have to go there if you aren't one of them.

you're not describing some platonic ideal of an internet forum. you're just describing what you personally want out of one.

Sure, if you want a forum that is only trolls then go ahead and leave it unmoderated. Just don't act surprised when suddenly Nazis show up.
