Reply #242: Therin lies your conundrum

Folks that start that flame war do so to have the thread shut down.

You want more moderation whereas the actual stern use of moderation on this board is the problem. The rules are set up, as is the use of the mods, to benefit those that think of this board as a place to campaign and play keyboard warrior.

No discussion ever takes place here as a result. It's even worse given that everytime one starts a thread, no matter how benign it is, one has to consider that those that don'e like what is being said, as to whether or not they are gonna flame fuck this shit out of it to get it locked.

This kind of moderation IS the problem and the folks who play this game here know to use it to their advantage.
