    I understand your frustration, but as you admitted, it's a bit unrealistic. With site growth comes different personalities and passion levels. Families, spouses, and best friends have some of the most heated arguments you'll ever see, and it's really no different here.

    It does start with the members, but whoever is moderating also should be vigilant. The fact that this topic is highly active reflects that perhaps it's not being kept in check as well as it should. As adults, it's our jobs to police ourselves, but as certain maturity levels and egos are challenged, the responsibility gets easily forgotten.

    Additionally, it would help if posters/mods were more in-tune to keeping discussions on track. The cold hard truth is that people click threads they're interested in. There's a good chance that people don't care how Warchant pissed you off, or how much you think Rick Trickett sucks, or "Konfrense Realinemint 4 dummiez"

    Let us know - we have PMs - when you think a poster or thread is off kilter. Sometimes we will delete a couple of posts and a thread will right itself, without the need to lock it. However, there is also a contingency that opposes "over-moderating" and will whine and moan that we are censoring, blah blah blah. It's a delicate balance.

  • I haven't noticed anything but I haven't been on as much while traveling.

    I only see one locked thread that isn't spam on the front page (DC Reeves thread).

    Usually the longest threads get long because of disagreement...its more the rule than exception.
