Morning guys, here's the thing. Yes a couple of the copycat threads were deleted. Now the OPs probably were just joking around but when multiple members started posting stuff that was well over the line we can either start deleting posts and issuing infractions or just zap the thread and let people simmer down a bit. I'm not about to delete 15 or 20 posts in a 3 page thread so that's why they came down.

Now I'm aware that in the past perhaps a certain mod went a little ban crazy and that's no good for anyone. We don't want it to be like that in here but at the same point Darin and Jen want this site to be family friendly. At the point those threads were at when they were deleted, they weren't even close to family suitable.

For the most part this thread has been clean so that's why it's still open. Let's keep it that way. But if you feel the need to openly gripe about moderation (as several have recently), be prepared to deal with the consequences.
 
Now that's funny stuff! If you make it about ex/retired mods it might even last.

Now there's a well thought out policy!

I've left here several times. It never sticks for long.

This is a good site......with lots of great members. Some not so great.

Personally, I think the political forum should be shut down.

Political forum is like the crack house of AS. It's 1% of the content and 50% of the moderator work.
 
I've yet to ever see anything good come from a political, or a religious discussion where people with different ideas of what was correct were trying to impose their beliefs upon the other......

There are places all over the Internet where those guys can gather to beat each other down. Having that crap here just attracts the attention of more nut jobs, and very well could be the reason this site was hacked.

Agree. It normally takes years for someone to adjust their political or religious beliefs. When someone is trying to shove their philosophy down your throat it just makes people back away.
