Dusan: He (Raz) is right though to a point, weirdness and stupidity takes over because you guys have zero deterrence for downright poor behaviour and spamming. It goes unchecked until it ruins any basic decent discussions, and the normal posters gets jaded by all the retarded spamming that's semi encouraged here. And it ends up with them themselves taking part in this to try to beat the mental midgets in their own game. The end result is what you call "weirdness", simply the product of unchecked and unmoderated inviroment.
I get preferring relax way of running things ("boys will be boys" style basically) , but the brief bans for raking up pts is the only thing that happens here moderating wise, and it's so pointless in the end. Much more useful to simply nibb it in the butt before it escalates, by being present as a mod and edit/delete or publicly warn before the transgressions and negative behaviour becomes the norm in a topic (pretty much never see this happening) , or in the whole forum itself as it is now.
In my own experience, it pretty much become pointless for me to try to engage in serious discussions around here, when I realized I too was becoming bit negative and somewhat more hostile in my posts after a while. Much easier to just read and make casual posts instead, engaging in real basic discussions is just not worth the effort around here anymore as it used to be not so long ago.
