Sure, but also it is also the only thing certain people understand
I posted a similar type thread WAY back when, and a MOD stickied it for a while. It helped for a short time but things slowly went back to "normal"
There are times things get out of control but I don't see it being that bad at the moment. Should it be better? sure. But it is no where near as bad as it has been in the past. The mods do take care of the worst offenders, BOBDN comes to mind
- but they also let alot slide. IF there were a set of rules to follow - things would be better but as it sits right now the rules are too generic and certain people who have been called on their posting(offensive posts) have been able to weasel out of having to "fix it" or getting vacationed. Until the Mods see fit to present a set of DEFINED rules - things won't change and people will push the limits of acceptability.
Again - I'm not sure what the current complaint is - it's been this way for a long time and I haven't seen any significant rise in attacks that would warrant this complaint, unless it's just a PSA type reminder to be civil. If it was the latter - I'm all for it.
If it was the former - quit whining
