What does Democracy have to do with the moderator's inability to censor the site to my liking? Why don't the moderators just censor the things I don't like?
Why, for example, do the moderators allow dadpad and drewdad to both exist as usernames? I confuse them often and if they were running a tight ship they wouldn't put up with such similar monikers.
And don't get me started on all caps. Why is that allowed? Why do they allow you to quote a huge ass post right after it just to say one word? That drives me nuts and they allow it left and right, those bastards!
Quite.
And quite right, too.
It ought not be allowed.
I was giving you what I thought was your own answer back...I would likely just say your complaints are the result of your having kicked an own petard.
Your comments re the TOS are true if you say so, you'd know.
I have never heard that said in any section of the site before, though, so it would likely have been useful to say it a long time ago, if they were never meant to guide members' conduct.
The TOS have certainly always been open to multiple interpretations, as is the nature of such things, but I am utterly astounded to hear you say they have never influenced Moderation policy.
I have no problem with you doing whatever you please with the site, but I think it simply silly to deny there has been a change in mod policy, and I (now) have the right to express my feelings about it, even while, as you rightly point out as an inconsistency, utilising the change...hell, my comments would have been removed previously because they are discussing moderation policy.
You also have a perfect right to point out the ironies of such criticism. (I was well aware of the irony re the personal attacks.)
My criticism has nothing to do with the moderation, as such, by the way...it has to do with policy...
My "frankly revolting a lot of the time" is actually a very unfair comment, which I withdraw and apologise for, now that I look at it again.
There have been a few incidents of revoltingness relating to very libellous comments made about a few people, that have made me feel very distressed on their behalf.
I am prone to exaggeration when thinking about that.
