This forum is one of the few left which has not castrated its users with a myriad of rules and restrictions. But the price of that are the unexpected attacks by those who hope to knife you without being noticed by the mods. I know how to take the good with the bad, which probably explains why I'm here.
Been participating on Forums since the first or second one emerged out of MIT and DARPA. Moderate one. REally love a well moderated forum. But I also like that there is a subforum where you can see multiple sides of an issue discussed in a rough and ready fashion. I don't like it when things get personal.I don't like it when comments are inserted in the cartoons or memes or links threads though. You take the good with the bad.
and is probably less moderated because there's only one (overworked) moderator. in another car forum i am on, if you bring up politics in a non political thread, the mods will ask to get back on topic. if it doesn't, they lock the thread. if personal attacks are made, users are punished at the discretion of the mods, which happens here from time to time, generally outside of freds house of politics.
I am a firm believer in what my Mother told me a long time ago. If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing. Far too many people these days clawing for their 15 seconds of fame.
