I believe it's brought more turmoil and discord making the place just like so many others. I liked it when the boards were monitored more closely.... I'm probably a minority. I see more jabbing and ducking, mostly jabbing, than ever before. Nothing much get nipped in the bud, so to speak. I feel interactions were better when accountibility to the boards was a two fold poster AND adm. responsibility....I agree with you.
It seems that the most troubled board is the Administration board. Perhaps it is drama that attracts so many people. I don't know.
My failed attempt to lobby for participation in several threads dedicated to discussing the moderation of the website did yield one commonly held belief of the few who did participate. It was that the length of blocks are too long and that the punishment does not fit the "crime". I found it interesting that some of the most vocal personages who are detractors of the moderation of the website did not choose to participate in the threads I started. Perhaps antagonism works better than deliberation. Perhaps no one likes me. I don't know. No biggie.
