In recent days, I have banned 3 members. All were banned for flaming or trolling.
The last was banned for accusing me of pedophilia, solely because I run this forum.
This has gotten WAAAY out of hand now.
Let me tell you all something, and this is not to be debated. I've had enough.
I tried time and time again to find new ways to make this site appealing to you. Every time a new problem came up and I was left to pick up the pieces. Often I am left to fight alone, even though there are mods in place.
How much liberty can you give before it becomes too much, or abused? I feel I was taken advantage of. My ego was was used against me. I just didn't want to be hated, so I gave in. No more.
This is why we have rules, and that is why I do what I do.
What ever action I take is done only to keep this site clean and friendly to those who respect it.
You can call it censorship, conspiracy, cover up, a lie,... whatever, this isn't the real world.
I'm well set in my way. I have a life. This site a hobby to me. I don't have to do this. But why do I continue?
Because there are still the few who care enough about this keep coming here. Even though that number may be few, it's enough for me to keep going, even though the majority make me want to quit.
I will never give in to online bullies. Which is why from this point on, I will do what I think is right for this forum, no questions asked.
Before any one goes off on a tangent, remember that being on this forum is an OPTION. You don't have to be here. You can make your own forum for all I care.
To those of you who helped make this site look as goos as it does, I thank you all.
That is the end of my little speech, now I leave you with this material:
