I fought for rules and structure with little to zero open support. I had the balls to stand for what I thought was right even when it wasn't popular and no one backed me up. I was shouted down by those who want a freeform forum. I was "over reacting" or "I'm too uptight". You know what happens when you don't vote? You don't get your way.
I'm not going to have spotty enforcement because it isn't convient or because one person's good time gets spoiled. It pissed me off at Genmay and it pisses me off to see it here. I made it a point to constantly solict feedback and got none. Hell, we even have a whole fucking subforum just for it.
The people who would be heard have spoken and this is what they wanted. I always said this place would be whatever you guys wanted it to be and now it is. Enjoy.
I think your bottom lip is quivering.
Personally I don't see what the big damn deal was. I just hope I don't have wade through thread after thread of the same lame crap I get in my spam emails every day, or titles like "OMG this is so funnay".
Honestly though, I think our usual crowd here is mature enough to adhere to the same principles we've been operating under forever.
If not...well, it's still Scott and Zac's forum. They can do what they want, including taking back control.
