As I posted in one of the flame threads directed at me:
I was definitely stricter when dealing with the older posts because I thought they wouldn't really matter. I was wrong.
With the newer ones, I prefer to give a poster the benefit of the doubt when possible. The treatment by a few members who I still haven't figured out yet ,and shall remain anonymous once I do, set me off before. It shall not happen again.
I'm usually not so much of a hardass. If you visited the site I admin, you'd know that. Too bad it's a private forum (for a gaming clan) and I can't invite you.
The important thing to remember is now that the trash is taken care of, I'll be moderating the normal way I do, which is fairly lenient, but probably not as lenient as you guys are used to. I'll find a nice balance that you can accept, though. I've been the bad cop, but I'm trying to be the good one now. I don't want the guy everyone's either taunting or afraid of, I want to be the guy people can talk to if there's a problem on the board. A mediator and moderator, not a nazi or censor.
I prefer to act the way I want to be treated.
