Ugh sometimes I hate this forum :P hehe (nah love you guys really)
The problem is around here, we're generally a great group of guys, so when something DOES get out of hand (a fairly 'innocent' post of Get it Done which I agree was a VERY bad choice of words), it seems to get over-inflated. It's like how an argument with your best friend is worse than an argument with a random acquaintance.
And I have to say, anyone who finds this forum to be heavily moderated... well the only forums I've been in that are more easy going than this one where moderation is concerned, are those that are literally for groups of friends only. For a gaming site, this is pretty relaxed moderation. Now that's not to say there isn't the odd controversial lock, but that's going to happen anywhere. For every person who is offended/upset by a post, there's someone else who isn't. That's life.
People just need to learn to stop taking things personally. If you don't like an idea, feel free to say politely and constructively. If your idea is rejected, accept it with good grace. If something is closed, just accept that there is a reason for it. Even if it is a bad one. We're all censored every day by people above us, bosses, government etc. Deal with it, don't let it bother you and just get on with enjoying yourself!
