It never was.
This forum is owned and operated by SJ. He makes the rules, we enforce them.
I would expect you to know the difference.
One of the problems is that the forum ran, unchecked, for a very long time. People got used to chaos and anarchy, all the while screaming that more moderation was needed.
Now there IS more moderation (yet NOTABLY less than at some OTHER forums I frequent) and people are complaining that there's moderation.
Again, though, the key is for everyone to handle their complaints, objections and suggestions in a reasonable manner. This thread is a PRIME example. A questions was asked, it's been answered and, thus far, everyone is being reasonable, calm, collected and adult about things. If everyone remains that way, this thread will NOT be locked, people will NOT be banned and we can all carry on. If people start with the sideways comments, the cries of "fascist" and the shenanigans again, though, it WILL be locked and then there'll be even MORE calamity.
And keep this in mind...This isn't any fun for us. We don't WANT to close threads. We don't WANT to ban people. We don't WANT to have to get involved. If people make us, though, we will.
SUPAMODERETA this is no longer an open forum?
Hi all
In todays world of IM Text messaging emails and FORUMS using all caps and bold text is like yelling at someone. With all the new moderators in this forum it seems to be a little heavy handed for my taste, long time members being banned people being reprimanded for sexual innuendo in a members only sub forum and so on.
Now I remember why I live in the country and not in a homeowners association.
I dont need someone telling me HOW LONG I SHOULD GROW MY GRASS!
Anyway I would like to think all of you for the wonderful info I have received on this forum in the pass few months.
A special thanks goes out to
Tropicalbob

Leaford
And many others for all your informative info

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Delay is preferable to error.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.
Thomas Jefferson
