We have pretty simple standards for moderating. This is, has always been, and will always be a family friendly forum as stated by the Owner. No dirty jokes, no dirty pictures, no foul language. Forum members are allowed to disagree with each other as long as they do not become belligerant. No personal attacks, name calling or insulting.
The post above calling us/comparing us (or anyone you don't agree with) to book burning Nazi's, would normally be deleted and could warrant the poster a time out (temporary or permanent ban), but I felt it was important for members to understand, THIS IS NOT the way to post here. It is unacceptable.
Saying you don't agree with how something was moderated is fine, we can discuss it, and maybe all come to an understanding, but to launch into a name calling, insulting tirade, is not how we do things here.
Many forum members feel and have stated this is the best, most accepting forum on the internet. There's a reason for that, and as long as forum members follow the rules, it will remain that way.
Cormanus and I are not on power trips, we recieve no compensation for moderating. It is totally voluntary, and requires that we spend a lot of time reading every single post, every day, whether the subject interests us or not. Every single post, every single day, for the last 10 years.

Its really simple, as long as you all are well mannered and play nice, we as moderators will stay out of it, as far as moderating goes.
