For the most part it is fine,, but it doesn't set a good standard people get banned for saying the same thing in response that someone else did, regardless of prior warnings.

In the situation I am referring to, both should have been left alone to sort their issues considering it wasn't that big an issue to begin with.

If the moment discussion gets heated people get banned, expect the current state of things (lack of real good discussion) to continue.

I like it how it is now, it's a lot looser than it was before. Still, I think bans need to be more consistent. Many people avoid bans for obvious trolling, they make bitter threads or posts and their only purpose is to piss people off, yet they avoid bans because they're apparently not breaking any rules. I also think mods should be tighter on people who post only to start arguments and constantly belittle people as well.



The problem is that everyone sees the things they want to see, and believe the mods are too strict with them and the guys they agree on, and too loose with other people they don't agree on.



don't have time to read the whole thread.

The main problem i see is uneven application of the rules. The popular users or users with more post counts seem to get special treatment. Also I all ways see a ton of trolling in all the sub forums. And a lot of spamming.



Right now it seems to be alright. You have your more strict mods and you have your looser ones, a nice toss up.

Awesome results atm.

Looks like a middle finger. Maybe some people are trying to send the mods a message!!

Haha that was gold !



I think mods should pay a lot more attention to the new users and those without an avatar. They are usually the worst trolls and I suspect they might be alternate IDs.



Stricter. Too much hiding under the mantle of "opinion," and then people using the most hackneyed arguments altogether.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.


I guess some moderators should be stricter while some moderators should be looser? :P


Seriously though, I'm fine with how things are at the moment. Voted status quo.
