Talking about over moderating one should only look at ones self. I have seen many times on here if you dont abide by the almighty the hand shall be slammed down. Im not a fan at what happened over there and will not defend them. Everything I am reading on here seems to be the same it was during the early years of JJ. Its going down the same road. Just go to politics threads on here have to have them approved seriously are we kids. I mean the rules here are pretty similar to the rules there. So to degrade them cause of rules you might take a step back and look in the mirror. When I came over here it was said we will never be like the huddle but yet its getting that way everyday just look at the top of this forum.

I like reading here but with all the attacks people receive if they spell something wrong or dont use proper punctuation is ridiculous. God forbid i dont agree with one of the bigger name posters I will be attacked like a rabid dog. Its called practicing what you preach. If your gonna do things different then do them different. If you dont like the huddle dont go. Its easy just act like adults about things and not some 12 yr old kids. I for one am sick of the whole debate this place will be fine. That place will be fine. Peoples gonna post where they want to no matter what and will hide their identity to do it cause they dont want to get attacked for doing it. I think at the top of serious business it says stop the personal attacks well aint this whole thread been a personal attack. I feel for snot you all jump on him for being friends with both sides but yet he defends both of you. I guess the rules only apply to certain people on both sites.

There are currently two people banned and one of them will be back in less than 12 hours. You're entitled to your opinion, but this place is nothing like the huddle. Just because we're trying to limit the over-the-top personal attacks doesn't make us them. Also, it's been 2+ years since this site started. If we were getting more like them every day we'd be identical at this point.

Either that, or retarded adults. Calling them kids is the friendlier of the 2 options.

If this is the case should be some mention of the attacks in this thread alone. The rules here are not that far from the huddle I mean you have rules they dont, they have rules you dont, but they all pretty much stand for the same thing. I like this place but hardly post cause I see so many people get attacked. I like rules think they need to be on every forum. The thing is this place was suppose to be different but I see a lot of the same things going on here that goes on over there. Attacking someone for not thinking the way you do is wrong. Several posters over here do that just read this thread. Its all good I dont care one way or another just giving my opinion.

You're right, we both same the same 3-4 rules listed. The difference is, since JJ is still on the payroll, every rule that used to be on their old 30-35 rule list still operates as an unwritten one in his mind (and the mods that "align" with him). That's not the case here.

We may be more aggressively enforcing one rule as of late (personal attack, namely), but it just seems like a big change because we were admittedly REALLY lax on enforcing what we had on the books for a long time, and people started to take advantage.

If that is the case shouldnt the rules apply to everyone? Not just to someone everyone dislikes or someone that has under a certain post count? This is something that makes me curious cause I have seen it often.

The day we start banning without warning and move to a pay model I'll concede that we are the same.

I don't know what to tell you if you feel it's selective enforcement.

Of course, when we start charging to post we will also leave the site littered with ads.

For example, deydurkie is one of my favorite posters but he was recently banned for being a dick too often.

I'm the only guy on the payroll so I don't have to worry about revenue as long as it covers the hosting.

Just my opinion. I read a lot of topics on here and while CC and Sleeper may annoy the piss out of me I didn't really see a reason for banning them. Maybe I just missed it.

Personal attacks on a forum are just retarded to take offense to. 99% of the people on here I will never meet so who gives a shit if they say something off the wall about someone here.

Just my 1 cent...wasn't worth 2.

I agree...in an ideal world. But the fact is that we were getting a ton of complaints about a few posters. They were completely derailing threads and people were getting sick of trying to sift through the garbage. I will take the blame for it though...I got sick of all the complaining, so I gave out some vacations to try to appease people.

The personal attack thing, as I read it, was for the under the to shit. Like following people around attacking them on different threads.

Like I've attacked snot for the dumb shit he's doing. But on other threads I have no issue with him.

If by "under the to" you mean "over the top" then yes. If by "under the to" you mean "under the to" then WTF?!? :)
