I hate when mods lock threads
or delete posts. I'm an adult, I can handle it. Sure, if it's a personal attack. That should be deleted. Otherwise, let me read it - I'm in my 40's and I don't need to be told what I can read!

I'm not really dissing the mods - we do have and have had some great ones. (if I can only convince EstimatedProphet to mod again- he was one of the best.)


Sorry, just venting.

Khash.

1. I think the problem is that there could be kids reading this.
(This being a public board and all.) So someone has to protect the kiddies from posters like temeah and turtlensue.

3. Considering how many people are posting at this site - things run pretty
smoothly. And that is because of the mods and Admin. There have to be some rules. I rarely come across a locked thread.

8. Actually, I think they are pretty lienient...
I've never felt particularly stifled here, and I've typed some questionable stuff.

I think they strike a good balance here.

Good Afternoon Khash :hi:

10. Wow! Thank you!
I really do wish I could mod again, but I just don't have the time to do it right, right now.

11. I agree in sentiment,
but the truth is that unmoderated internet discussion forums above a certain critical mass are painful to watch, unless you just feel like rubbernecking. A small hobbyist Usenet forum is one thing. A big popular political website like this would be so inundated with trolls and flamewars that the current mess in GDP would look like Candyland in comparison.
