Re: Question
Hi Oni,
There had to be a reason other than "woke up with PMS," right?
Bumsecks.
No, seriously. You know how it goes; someone mentions the gays and suddenly everyone loses their frickin' minds. IT'S JUST BUMSECKS PEOPLE! GET SOME PERSPECTIVE!
A gay rights thread descended into hostility (again) and half the forum started bitching at each other on the "Moderation issues" thread. Percy, and indeed the moderation team as a whole, was sorely tried.
There was more to it than that though; some explanation here.
The good news is that despite the loss of some valued members (a couple recently returned), the changes have been for the better. The moderation is more streamlined and the ban on extended discussion of moderation procedures has been an improvement too.

Re: Question
Hi Taz,
Now, I'd pay real money to see ray martinez get turned into an admin
Oh that would be fantastic! Cold Foreign Admin!
He'd have to ban himself though, to spend more time on his thesis...

Re: Question
Hi Buz,
Thanks Granny, for saying it first. Now that a member of the esteemed establishment has said it,
Oh stop messin' about! Everybody knows that you've been on this site since before Al Gore invented the internet, so if anyone's establishment it's you.
Steadily since, new fresh constituency has come in to make the site livelier, more interesting and somewhat more balanced. The bickering and meanspirited infighting has greatly diminished, effecting less tension.
Especially now that AdminBuz is gone. That guy was crazy, no-one was safe back then.
I do agree with you though, and with the amazingly modest and retiring Bluejay. New blood keeps a place like this interesting and some of the stronger voices can drown out new contributors.
In addition, Admin has implemented some nice techy improvements which make the site more user friendly.
Amen to that.
