|
|
This is just a fun n game forum. Some act like they are writing a dissertation when they post on here. This site is what it is and always has been. It doesn't ever change; only the usernames do.
It can be helpful sometimes, but things usually turn into a flame fest. |

| In some cases, I believe this is true. In others, not so much. It's difficult to judge sarcasm at times when an idea is typed, not heard and seen. Overall, I agree, people need to lighten up a bit. This life is short and I personally can't find too much to take seriously. |

I believe that within three or four posts this thread has proved its point rather neatly. What did those people say?
Anyways...moving on...I think you're right...but sometimes it's the only place where people have decent conversations in English...so they get a bit carried away. |

What about posting comments about moderator inactions? It seems to me like the moderators do a lot of threatening but rarely take much serious action. I always see "[mod edit]" in threads, indicating that the mods are patrolling the posts but not doing anything about the problem. If people violate the TOS, shouldn't something happen after the first offence? I can see this post being removed and action taken against me, but I don't feel that it is out of line. I guess we will see. |

| I deplore the fact that far too many of my posts have been taken seriously. |

We do take action against those who violate the TOS. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
End of thread. |
