[Haunted]

I haven't posted in the poll yet, because I'm not sure how I feel about the issue. I'm wondering what you guys would define as an acceptable post in the new members section, because just randomly going in there and talking trash to all and sundry is ridiculous.

I agree with Bwind that flaming stupidity is a worthwhile cause. I think mods can come down too hard on folks who are just standing up for themselves and the forum. This is our forum too, and I don't think that we should have to stand by and let all and sundry run amok all over us. It kind of irks me a little that we can't give a resounding "fuck you" to someone who's flaming our forum, and that we have to place polite nice-nice. I think that's ridiculous.

I mean, fighting amongst ourselves is one thing; it sets a really bad precedent. However, fighting off these jerks long enough so that someone with any amount of authority comes in and fixes the situation is an entirely different thing. It's not even in the same ball park. I'll tell you something else too, it's standard protocol on any other forum I've been to.
