Except for pony rides and giant orange sodas, eh?:confused: :scrutiny:

Anyway, I was originally posting my confusion and dislike of the end of a thread that whose theme had been used in creating threads before. While I realize that those threads may have been setting a bad precedence and the Moderators are now taking steps for preventative maintenance, a little warning would be nice.

Did yall get a new set of rules to moderate by? Things seem to be a little more strict than it used to be. I used to come here for a majority of my political info and stories, and commentary about them. It seems that we (the non-mods) are being broadsided by new policies that are a little hard to define. I have seen many threads get locked in the past two weeks for not being "L&P material"* that I thought contained information or reporting on material of a legal or political nature. When I read L&P, I expect to find not just "civil liberties"** issues, but all things of a Legal and Political nature.

Oh well, its not my board and I am not a mod on it. I guess I will just have to go to my corner, pout about it, and then get on with life. Time to google for more forums...Sad really, I liked it here. :( :mad:

*Just to summarize the reasons given...
**The definition of which seems to have recieved a strict and skewed re-defining... :mad:

Edited to add: Gee, I guess this seems to sum it up. I really must apologize for my attitude, but as you can tell I am seriously displeased with this sort of thing, and I feel that all the mods should note that. Even if there isnt a complaints department, the least everyone in charge can do is listen to the little peon's complaints before they squish them.:fire: I am going to bed.

See the float at the top of the General forum.

It isn't easy running a board with 7,000 members of differing opinions and interpretations of the rules. A small group of moderators make decisions as we see them, and we really do try our best. Sometimes moderator's tempers get frayed just like anybody else.

But yes, this one's locked too, because the Tech Support forum isn't a complaint forum. Please PM or email a Mod or Administrator for questions like this. If you having a technical problem, by all means post here. :)


the grey line, of course, are requests for new forums or special features. Complaints, aand compliments, should be emailed or PMed. Thanks, Steve.
