Don't blame the moderators. Blame the posters who get their jollies from "reporting" other posters.

It's a bit of both I think.

Heavy handed removal of threads, posts and posters plus the reporting by other posters.

I disagree completely. The moderators have the upper hand and if they would carry out their duties correctly they would not delete a post or a thread just because it is being reported. The material should actually be reviewed first to determine if it truly is against board standards and if not it should be allowed to remain regardless of how many times it gets reported by stupid people! The moderators are totally at fault for not carrying out their jobs correctly.

I see what you're saying. But it was posters who wanted more intervention from the moderators and that's what happened. And there are people who are happy with the changes.

The board wasn't run well before the changes and there was uneven moderation back then. I'm not sure why some thought with more monitoring the forums would suddenly be better. Maybe it will take time. Or not.

The moderation is actually worse now. It's extremely uneven.

I hope the ones who cried for the change are happy. {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

I don't think everyone on here would agree which is the dog, and which is the tail.

Cakers, if I disagree about not liking scallops, will I be banned?
