I'm not as much as I'm supposed to be on my regular board because of $#!T like this. So I Agree 100%

On the other hand, though, one specific site whose forum is moderated by overzealous dicks also comes to mind. Nothing they've done to me, mind you, but that's not to say it wouldn't have happened if I was more active there. The way they approach conversations and treat their members is exactly why I never participated more. I won't name the site, because that wouldn't be fair, but I'm sure most people who've been collecting for a while can guess. I'm also fairly certain that some of the best contributors in these forums have been banned from that corner of the internerd.
And one of the things I admire about this site is that it does not attempt to impose some phony set of economic principles upon the whole of its membership. The sites who are the most strict about that sort of thing are very often the ones making the most profit off the hobby, so it's more than a bit hypocritical. It really shouldn't be that difficult for people to resist an urge to trash someone over what they consider to be a high price. I've never bought anything from anyone reselling something they purchased at retail for a profit on this forum, but if others want to do so, that should be their business, and their business only. It probably has something to do with the size of the community, though. And I also want to note that I really dig the openness that this board allows. That's a large part of why I post and read here. However, it can go to extremes, so I actually like to frequent boards like this one, as well as some that are more tightly controlled, since you get different perspectives and can interact with different types of people. And sometimes, I'm just in the mood for one type over the other. I'm curious to see how these new rules are implemented, and how effective they are. I think having rules to enforce social norms are important, and finding the balance between freedom of speech and censorship (through editing/deleting posts or removing members) is tough. I hope that CIAD and others here can find a nice medium to achieve their desired ends. |

You know what. I'm out. The MOD's are too anal for me.
If someone says something I don't agree with, I want to be able to voice it. And same goes for any one else who wants to do the same to me. I'm here for fun, and I'm bored. I don't carry this stuff to sleep with me at night. I love this site, the news is great, and prompt. Can't knock them for that. Is there another forum on the net with as much activity as this one, but less anal? Do you guys know of any? |

I heard a rumor that Derek2783 was a pimp.
I'm inclined to believe it.

Being asked to continue to respect the rules that you AGREED TO when you signed on here is not 'anal'...
If someone can't post on a forum without the politeness & dignity they (hopefully) display when addressing people in the street then they shouldn't click the box saying they will.

I honestly think it was all said and done correctly by CIAD and the rest that agreed, seen some heavy typed battles in some threads, where i didn't even want to post in it because i didn't want to get caught in the middle of it, besides like you said there just toys and we can't take them with us when this life on earth is over. They will outlast us all....even our kids and there kids!

Sorry, Dan, that we don't agree with you calling everything/everyone "faggy" or "gay", or the fact that you like to flex your internet muscles. Since you don't like it here, we hope you've enjoyed your stay. Allow me to show you the door. |
