I am happy Montana is back as a mod. Welcome back.

In the past I was sceptical towards Montana's criticism of the site and his reasons for leaving as I am a guy who loves freedom (including freedom to be a sucky poster and even trolling to some extent). But I have now changed my position. Maybe due to selfish reasons. Recently I have noticed a lack of quality in the forums that bothers even myself. Most threads are simple news threads (often copied from N4G. Nothing wrong with that but if that's all we got then VGC ain't that unique) with short, banal user comments and the few serious discussion threads (both in gaming and in off-topic) have a much smaller number of engaged and intelligent posters in them than we had in the past.

Still I have to encourage restrain in dealing out bans. Often the purputrator is not deliberatly trolling, he is just frustrated or he just hasnt grasped the level of civilized manners required on these particular forums yet. And as humane humans we can deal with that in steps. (like Montana dealing friendly warnings through PMs. They had good effect on me and my bad behaviour). It really really hurts to be banned, I assure you.
