I was new to both
vaping AND forms when I started here just a week or two ago. I had issues with the five-post thingie AND got a beat-down from a
mod for a rules violation regarding an inappropriate avatar (Crow T. Robot didn't always say, "Vapor, I tell you" ;-) . But a forum without strong moderation will quickly devolve into a miserable place.
The rules are good, and they make for a very pleasant, safe and helpful place to hang out. Props to all the ECF mods.
