You're forgetting 1,000 Results for “white”, if you're going to play that. :old:

Most disturbingly, 10 for "Dolby", one result with Nuke calling me a 8itch and a hypocrite.
I thought we were on good terms, I guess the 'front of house' is being a bastard in the 'staff room'...

loll. I call my best friends all kinds of mean things.

We're on goods terms! I'm pretty much very easy to get along with and I people. I think you've said some things about me over here. No big deal. Not going to the HOA over it unless you start playing loud Mexican music.

By the way, there's no staff. Just me. One hidden forum that you have to be logged in to see. We're currently talking about AH in that forum.

I hope you reported that to the homeowners association!

What happens on your site is whatever you would like. What happens on this site is whatever HTC would like. I'm simply pointing out that you may not be the greatest example of how to run a 'vibrant' or 'better' community.

It is unsurprising that all of the folks that live over there are on here, defending racism.

I never compared my site, only referenced this forum in it's current state and the one before the out of hand moderation that banned/ drove off a vibrant community.

This forum was actually fun, popular and vibrant before the moderation.

Here's a video that gives an example of the type of people that remain here. You might fall into this catagory

It is unsurprising that certain people are still unable to move on from that same old tired line.

What is this moderation that is so oppressive all of a sudden.

All of this stuff has run by one dude who by all accounts seems to have a long leash on this forum.

I don't think it's all of the sudden. This forum has been dead for years and it began with the "rules" and the moderation and the bans.

They don't ban people as easily now. Skuzzy banned people for almost nothing at times.

Dale seems to go away for days/weeks and then comes back and just shuts down threads and tags people. Probably sucks for him to deal with all the petty stuff.

like I was saying, the way bad actors can come into a thread and get it shut down is a bad dynamic and it allows those turds to harass people through the complainer button, essentially.

Skuzzy would have edited a bad post replacing the original text listing the rule violation.
Skuzzy would give the rule breaker a warning
Skuzzy would Persona Non Grata repeat offenders.
Skuzzy would only lock threads that were in and of themselves a rules violation, was in the wrong forum/board or gone completely off the rails.
If I'm not mistaken Skuzzy would sometimes move threads made on the wrong board.
