I don't believe this will happen. Yes, I could rant again about the few times we've been heavy handed, and how poo started flying everywhere aimed at our faces (faeces?), but I won't.

Ultimately, the person who decides what goes and doesn't is Reggie. He's been an admin on these forums for quite some time, and he has a lot of experience. He is the one who tries to enforce the "light touch" policy. We merge threads when their subjects are close, we move topics to the right forums. We automatically click on "One touch & Ban" button when we see "iphone 3gs macbook ipad nano" in the subject of a reported post, etc.

It's rare to have to close a thread, it's rare to have to tell people to calm down (when we look at the amount of posts there are on a daily basis). Let's not forget, we recently broke the number of concurrent users again. This is *not* a small forum. It's quite amazing that so little moderation is needed (well, except for the wrong forums and stupid thread titles).

I won't even reply to the insults I've gotten in this thread, but I will say this: I decided to moderate because the forums needed it. There were a lot of different threads being posted in the wrong parts, and we just needed more hands on deck because the amount of users that were joining was growing on a daily basis. I decided to step up, I decided to at least TRY and do something.

Maybe I wasn't the best mod, maybe I was too heavy handed; but don't pretend you were insulted by me using the word "idiotic" or "stupid". Because if you really were, what the fu*k are you doing on the internet?
