I'll put it this way, if my boss were around and I opened your thread which made absolutely no mention about it not being worksafe I would have been in trouble.
Mods tend to take a lot of [censored] for locking posts, banning people, etc. because for the most part its a thankless responsibility. I can honestly say that I have never banned any regular posting member of this site. I have issued amny warnings to people and almost all of the time those people have responded to the warning in a courteous manner and the problem is solved within a couple PM or a conversation over IM. Actually I have had only two people get bent out of shape after a warning which relatively speaking isn't all that bad. Do I think some of the mods handling things poorly or at least not as good as they should, yes. Unfortunately thats the way of things though. I would like to think that this particular forum is the most liberal on the site and i think its that way for a couple reasons. One, I think EGL is the most active group both on & off of the boards and because of that many of us know eachother by more then our screen names. two, we as a whole are oldest group of active members so we're a litlle more self-policing (ala we take care of our own.) Three, I value the rights of the people I have to moderate and consider myself a member of the group... basically i don't want to be a dick abot things. (I have to see some of you [censored] on a regaular basis!)
Yeah I mess with the occasional misplaced classified thread, but if you look around I very seldom have to do anything more then that and IMO thats a good thing. As for todras...If anyone asks Todd if he deserved to be banned... i think you'd be surprised by his answer.
