Whatever you do as mod/admin you're fucked. If you ban, people shout at you, and if you don't ban, other people shout at you. As mod/admin it's a lose-lose situation. In this respect this forum is exactly like all others.
Except in other forums you get banned for questioning how things are.
The permissive attitude around here feels very good, but... being here is a privilege, not a right. The sooner everyone understands this, the better.
