why woody why?????????

you are a stubborn old man... but I will miss you...

cods you ask why green_win was leaving just think on how many times members get abuse on here and it is from both side of the divide. I know I give out as much as I recieve but you can only take so much.

That is one of the reason I don't post as much I am sick of getting abuse when I point something out that is right and other members from the other side of the fence don't like it.

That is the job of moderators to deal with. Eliminating the excesses of abusinve behaviour is not that hard. It just isnt done.

longy the one of the forums I belong to has these couple of rules

2. Flaming/Flamebaiting/Trolling

I want no part of any form of flaming, flamebaiting, trolling or any other such behavior. Depending on the circumstances, I'll give something as simple as a warning. Worst case scenario will be a perma-ban. This even applies to people who aren't necessarily apart of the forums. I don't want a hostile environment for potential new members.

4. Slurs/insults

This may seem a bit redundant, but I'm posting this anyway. Any slur, insult or related attack based on a person's minority status (racial, gender, orientation, etc) won't be tolerated. If you wouldn't typically make a comment to someone's face without fear of being beaten, then it's something that you shouldn't say here. Bannings will be effective for such offenses.

6. Alter egos

No need to create multiple accounts. If I catch anyone with multiple accounts, all of them will be deleted.

And if you have a look no one is breaking any of them. The owner of the forum runs a very tight ship with the rules and they are not hard to follow.

which is my point exactly. you can even be more relaxed than those standards and this place would be much better. but there is ZERO moderation and the place suffers as a result.

Just curbing the excessive spammers and abusers would make it a LOT better.

I made the admittedly unproven assumption that when you quoted these rules you were quoting them from a place that actually does it.

If that were not true then why would you post them?

in 3 elections time with the extreme-left running the Greens they wil be polling around 2%. come back here in 6-7 years time when Abbott has been PM for two terms and looking for a third.

Lets see THEN how my prediction pans out!
