Well FireMoth, the short answer is, yes.

Frankly, I have no idea why all of a sudden a certain segment of the membership started acting like two year olds on steroids, but, they did.

The rules have been the same since the site started, nothing has changed there. So, I don't believe there was any "capitulation" on the mods part.

I'm all for "Caveat Emptor" myself. But, seems as if the people that want to be treated as adults, have a problem with acting like adults. When I log in and see that I have 30 PM's over the span of two hours from a couple of "adults" butthurt over the fact that, in my estimation, a lack of "adult" communication, and expect me to resolve it for them. I guess it is time for a more vigorous enforcement of the rules. True story.

Yes, I admit, it would be nice if it was as simple as it is is in your perfect little world. But, atlas it isn't.

On the positive side, most of the for sale threads don't have 35 posts asking "what's your location." Which is good for the person selling the item.

As far as your comparison to the site being run as a nanny state, if the enforcement of the few rules that we do have here leaves you with that impression, Guess I'll just go with my standard answer for that one. Don't like it, no one is forcing you to be here. The door is over there, just let me know so I can delete you from the system.

To clarify, my thrust was at the board membership, not the mods.

It has been, as you have described, their behavior that started this.

I define capitulation in this case as almost any other action than saying "fuck off, you skirt wearing nancies"

It's absolutely absurd that a mod should find it necessary to have to check every sale posting to make sure things are clean.
It's retarded that members PM mods instead of each other.
And it is divisive for us to mandate supervision

I wont withdraw my Nanny state comment. I think the members here need to know what they are creating. If we cant communicate on a subject that this board was expressly formed to do, then maybe we need to go back to the kiddy pool.

I'll stay on Co-AR because there ARE a lot of cool people here, including the mods.

But that wont earn the shit heels that have stirred up this hornets nest a free pass with me.

Oh, I concour. If all I had to worry about here was the spammers that slip through every now and then. Pigs and fecal matter come to mind.
