Ah good. Yeah, 'liberal' is a bit strong when we're talking about a forum.Mother Yeti said:No, it was directed at Sir "I thought Escapist was LIBERAL and ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN but I guess I was WRONG" Shibito. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, kid.Vanguard_Ex said:Ah nobody's turning against anything. This is just asking for answers. By the way you weren't pointing that leave suggestion at me, were you?Mother Yeti said:*shrug* I just giggle whenever posters turn against a message board and get all solidarity-now-my-brothers. One of those perspective things, I guess. You can leave if you don't like the mods.
Maybe I'm just super-perceptive and I didn't realize it, but I never had difficulty locating and reading the forum rules. They're the top post in every forum, and there's the Posting Guidelines link at the top of the page. Plus, when I joined I got a message that basically said "Here are the rules, read them." And the rules are hardly esoteric.
Transparency is one thing, but demanding to be babysat is another.
I think it's just personality really. The people who won't take time to read the rules and guidelines are probably the same people who don't read instructions to things. Granted, I'm one of those people; I sure never read the guidelines and rules. But then, I have enough common sense to tell what would be frowned upon.
