This forum is bogged down with n00bs and postwhores as it is. If you really want to increase traffic, loosen the vice grip on the nuts of quality veteran members. Those who have been here longest have almost certainly both benefited and contributed to the entertainment and information value of this board. When you start threatening them with bannination and devote long moderator threads to said bannination, it makes them think twice about contributing to the site the same thing that has gotten and kept them here.

For you to say "overmoderation" is the problem, that's news to me. From the many CEGers both locally and nationally that I talk to pretty regularly, I haven't heard "overmoderation" being a reason for why they have left CEG / don't post on CEG / don't visit nearly as often / now dislike CEG. I don't know if your comments are personally directed at me. If they are, they shouldn't be. I cut vets much more slack than noobs. If I were to make the rules, CEG would be more like svtperformance where vets "police" the forums and take care of the noobs and post whores and put them in their place. I feel vets have earned the right to be here and the carebear attitude most noobs expect is pathetic. Unfortunately, it's not my site, so I can't make or change the rules.

Moderators have admitted that they can only moderate threads where there is a complaint or that they themselves read. On several occasions, I've observed threads that were particularly 'flame-y' that were allowed to go on until certain people were the target of said flaming (which allows me to infer that the thread was moderated only after it was reported, which moderators have admitted happens). It also seems that some are allowed to flame openly, and others are not. My post above wasn't directed at you; I haven't received threats of bannination or warnings from you, that I know of. It's meant to give you and the other moderators something to talk about in the moderator forum (see, I'm helping you by increasing traffic in that area).
