Posts constantly moved, threads locked. This doesn't happen anywhere else on this forum. And this sub is supposed to be the most permissive. There was more posting freedom when it was RR. Calling it a fight forum is a joke. This is the Sunday school section.
If that is the consensus, I'm happy to hand over the reigns to someone else.

Consensus. I gave MY opinion.
Yours is not the only one.
I'm not precious about it. If members want a different approach, it's no problem to me.
It's disappointing that you couldn't PM me with your concerns first, though.

Sorry guy. You are right. I should not have done that.
No biggie.
Its Fash's call either way.
I've let her know you're unhappy.

it's not a big deal to me. This sub offers me only an occasional interest. I am a blue collar guy with a passion for bread and butter issues that affect other working men and women.
Modding is a thankless job. Personally, I wouldn't touch it.
If you have posted with someone for years and you have a bone to pick with their modding decisions, I think you owe it to them to bring your grievances to them directly and privately.

Rotty is doing what he thinks is best. But, it is a flame sub. Let people sling mud.
I think the root of this lack of consensus is that RR arose
But then, that lot of flametown zombies found its way here and realized that the guest posting feature of RR offered them an exploit, essentially a chink in the armor. And (perhaps independently) a few of said zombies also joined legitimately and somehow found a somewhat receptive community. I think that the flame section arose largely through their collective "wisdom" but to me it seems like a solution to an ill-defined problem, and a solution that the larger BC community may not fully understand (and maybe wouldn't agree on, even if they did.)
Under the circumstances I was happy to see Rotty step up and accept the burden of managing a flame sub here, but I didn't expect him to be Merlin the magician. I appreciate his service, thankless as it is.
But since the primary business of flamerzombies is evidently to bore everyone else to death with endless re-hashing of personal vendettas from ages past, I for one would not go out of my way to provide them with one more stopover in their endless cruising of the internet in search of a good spot to do that.

I think you need to keep out of the flame section.
It's not your thing, (so you claim), naturally I don't believe you. You just love whining... I'm OK with that because I love giving you schtick about you whining. There is nothing better than watching whinging old men... ermm, whinge...
carry on!~.

I understand why RR became F&F. The old grudges have no relevance to me. But, some people are entertained by it. As long as it stays in this sub, it does not bother me.
"RR arose organically."
True. This is also true of most flames or troll compost, looks like.
It seems that folks who thrive on discord will endlessly complain when told to "post there, not there."
A fragile lot claiming to have thick hides.
Too funny.

Something like that yes.
Overmodded? Nah I heard Miss Malevolent was doing a fine job :laugh:
Jokes aside, I understand why a lot was binned, since it was PI attacks and child related attacks.
