What gives? If someone wants to post something 'retarded' he has every right to do so! If someone posts an offtopic 'you're retarded' reply, he should have his post removed, period.

Is this place short of moderators, or just don't understand the reason the internent has self-created these protocols over the past 20 years? (HINT: They work, anything else doesn't)

PS I just picked this topic to bitch about first, cuz it seems to be the worst waste of all our time. I'll space myself, but I haven't seen one generally accepted method of time-tested internet forum moderation 'protocols' or whatever is in place here.

Back in the day we spoke of signal to noise ratio, and everyone made an effort to strive for the highest ideal. I just read a large thread and maybe 2 posts were on-topic and several were blatant attempts to hijack the guys idea for themselves!

Times they are a changin', maybe shit-cannin exchanges and alt-coins will spread to folks demanding a place for intelligent insightful exhange of ideas without fear of ridicule or spending hours to learn "I can typing"!

Who knows.

Thanks for listening,
