I used to visit another forum (I still do from time to time), and any form of personal attack would have earned you a warning, after the 3rd warning, you'd be banned for a few days, then the punishment would gradually increase till a full IP ban. I sometimes think the moderators have allowed too much freedom here, which has allowed some people to just abuse that kindness. All moderators do a good job, its hard, they sacrifice time and effort to ensure the forum is a fun place for others, and their work here often goes unnoticed, and I'd like to thank them for it. I'd hate to see what the forum would look like if things didn't get moderated. But I do think there needs to be slightly more done to curb the rise in insults and rude language towards other members. Personally I'd have closed this thread already after page 1 when it started to get personal towards certain members.
