The Admins haven't got rid of all the jerks on this board,
I'm sure everyone remembers the old IMDB board; You know, the one where there was some interesting engaging conversation but a lot of childish mudslinging. Towards the last two weeks of the board, it just became a nasty free for all. Runie had once commented that he left the board because the RFS board was a pathetic waste of existence. He was right in many ways. That board shut down.
Then this board got started. It started out ok, but quickly deteriorated as the worst trolls of the old board migrated here. These trolls made posts that clearly violated the apparent rules of the board (racist and hate speech, general nastiness), but the Admins clearly wrote these posts off as "free speech".
Suddenly, a few posters self deleted or were banned from the board: Jack Hackett, AJ June, Ada, and Blade amongst others. I can only assume that the Admins were told to start cleaning up the board or be shut down. Maybe they were tired of all the school yard sissies - you know the type, the ones who chuck mud in people's faces then went to the teachers in tears that kids were throwing mud at them.
I'm not slamming the Admins by any means. I am sure they don't get paid for acting as moderators and set up the site out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm sure they were shocked by the bad behavior of a minority of posters.
I recently made a post about the Virgin Mary a few days ago. It wasn't my intention to offend but to satire current events such as the #Me Too movement. I know some people were genuinely mistreated. I do think however that the movement has started to take on the tone of a witch hunt. Some of the alleged harassment happened decades ago and some alleged victims are lying. The post was never meant to offend.
