Re: The State of RTB
Well, I for one think the mods do the best they can. Maybe there is some slippage here and there...so what? No one is perfect. Do we really want this place run like a Nazi regime? Where a mod sits on every thread, ready to pounce, til the thread is done?
To those of you that have an issue with the smilies...you are saying that the smilies essentially express the same exact thing that you were trying to express with your typing, but got an infraction for. OK, maybe a bit hypocritical...but why don't you just use the smilies to express that thought? If they express the same thing, then your point comes across the same, and you don't get an infraction for it. Problem solved. Whether they express the same thought or not doesn't change that what is and isn't acceptable is spelled out in the TOS for anyone who cares to read them. I find them pretty clear. And if there is a word or phrase that I'm not sure is acceptable...I just find another word or phrase to use. It isn't hard. Without these rules in place this forum would quickly degenerate into a big mess of name calling and immaturity and flaming. I've been on forums like that, I'm not fond of them, and that is why I am here now.
Goodness knows being a mod is probably a very stressful job. You have the potential to make a new enemy or lose a friend every time you hand out an infraction. But they do it anyway because they are trying to uphold the quality of this forum. Quit pushing and nitpicking and let them get on with their jobs already.
End rant.
