And people honestly care about some posts on a forum that much? I think I've only ever reported something once before, and I was much younger back then.

What's wrong with "don't like it, ignore it". Seems a bit silly to me, bit like OFCOM.

You need to take a step back and accept that not everyone will share your view of things (this goes for everyone) - you might find it ridiculous that some people "care about some posts on a forum that much" but you yourself care that the forum is becoming "strict." Maybe it seems silly to you, it doesn't seem silly to others, c'est la vie.

But if something is reported and we feel people could take offense, the thread can be closed/infractions given

Hmm, I guess that's fair enough then.

I never said everyone is going to agree with me, again, that's the idea of the thread. To see who agrees and who doesn't.

Anyway, I know nothing is going to change and infact, if anything, it'll probably get worse. All I'm saying is that it just seems, at least from my time on here, that it's gone from people being able to get away from quite a lot, to hardly anything, and that threads are being closed left, right and centre, ending valuable discussions, something which people have been complaining there has been a lack of recently. That's all. I just think it's driving people away from this place.
