In the space of two pages, this thread has probably become a microcosm as to why there is a perception that this forum is dying. It really isn't a friendly place. And although the Mods/Staffers enjoy their muli-coloured font screen names, I do not think there is anywhere near enough moderation of trolling or 'bigger d**k than you' one-upmanship posts.
A reminder that the report function exists, and that not one post has been reported.
If anything is against the rules, we take a view on moderation, including uncouth language with letters replaced with asterisks or similar grammar.
If users feel a post is against the rules, they should report it, and the mods can take a view.
I can’t speak for other mods/staff, but if there’s nothing against the rules, I’m not about to delete or otherwise moderate posts. People are perfectly allowed to express their opinions and others are perfectly entitled to disagree with such opinions.
can’t see any posts that break the rules (that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any - and that’s why the reporting function exists), but if you could point them out via the reporting function, I’d be obliged.
There are plenty of opinions I don’t like, or even think are ridiculous or stupid on here, but I’d never moderate them if they’re within the scope of the rules. I don’t think Mods should be editing or deleting posts to make the forum “in their image”. That’d pretty garbage. That that sure as hell *would* make the forum die.
