What is bold isn't entirely true (though I get what you're saying). If I had mod powers I could zap a bastard as soon as they show their troll tendency.9andawiggle 2 said: If they're not willing to address the problem, then really there's no way they can keep control of a misc. forum. It's not a priority for them, and I guess if the site is what they want it to be, well that's their right. Sure, in a way it sucks... but in another way Tony is getting some more support for his site, so it's good that way. We should be thankful for having a welcoming place to gather and rebuild - hopefully having learned from the past. It would have been easy for Tony to see what went down, and he could have said "No way do I want that shit on my site", but he didn't. And here we are. There are a few others I'd like to see make the move here, but we can't peer pressure everyone as easily as we did jls.We'll get it there (and thanks to GregT for all the work he's put into this!) Just like any other big change in life, it takes time for people to re-adjust and get used to/accept the newness of the situation.
That being said, I WOULD NOT zap someone for their religious/political beliefs and opinions (even if they are ignorant). But personal info posts, simple trolling, blatant trolling etc.....that would get one zapped.

That's exactly it. People in a forum such as this need the freedom to express nearly anything they feel. If that's chewing the ass off someone, so be it. I mean, we can't have people chanting "death to (insert favorite peave here)", but they can sure express their dislike or disagreement. That was the major problem with BR. When they said unmoderated they meant "you're on you own, fucker." I wouldn't even call this forum moderated. Sure, there are certain rules, but those rules are pretty laid back. Banning is a last resort, unless someone is purposely trolling, in which case they disappear. And that's the major difference here. We can control the fuckwads and still argue, bitch, piss and moan. If it happens to get personal and tempers are flaring, well, maybe just a friendly reminder can take place and we're all back to normal. It's all good here. We'll make this work JUST FINE...
P.S. Thanx, 9~. Much appreciated.
