I've been here for some time and while in the beginning, there definitely were some instances where threads got out of hand overall this was a good forum to be in.
Heated discussions sometimes, but most of them resolved without any need for interference.
And let's be honest here, on a porn-sharing site, we are probably not so sensitive that a harsh word here or there will sent us weeping for our mothers.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that for me it feels as if some (not all) mods on the forum are somewhat overzealous.
They start deleting posts left and right, with half of them not being problematic at all, at least not to standards I've encountered elsewhere or here in earlier times.
Often the arguments are already solved amicably and peacefully and then suddenly, bam! half the conversation is missing.
I'm not a mod, I'm really thankful for the work and effort they put into this forum and I know no one could want a repeat of what happened with some threads, like fe. the Teacher's Pets one, but I also feel that mods acting too restrictive and unable to let anything just go by and play out by itself, actually hinder a forum and the conversations occurring there.
If I am acting like a dick, I rather have someone tell me in unfiltered words and prompt me to consider my behaviour, than to have any critical approach shot down, because a mod considers the tone inappropriate.
I mean, inappropriate is such a lax definition anyway, what's considered appropriate is almost completely dependent on the situation and the people engaged in it and many topics here would be completely inappropriate elsewhere.
I like this site and the community that has grown here, I hope this topic isn't seen as disrespectful, it's not intended to, more as a platform for constructive criticism, which I hope is still possible on f95zone.
