[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Dark_Knight6"]

Yes, obviously. I've never claimed that isn't. Also, I've never claimed that you don't have to abide by rules. Rather, that it's quite difficult to do so when they can be made up at the moderator's discretion.

I see lots of users that have been here for years so it can be done.

I didn't say that it can't be done, I said that it's difficult. My point was that it is hard to obey the rules when they are loose and can be made up at random.

But would no rules make the site better? I remember Giant Bomb's forums when it launched...

I'd rather have none than far too many that are far too elastic.

OT would probably be more truthful about their fellow users.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="IceBlazerX"] And that's quality now is it? News to me.

I didn't say it was. Any site I've seen without some kind of checks isn't worth visiting. Though if he hates it here...one wonders why he posts here.:?

Who's 'he'?

"If the mods didn't exist, what would happen to OT?" Basic words wouldn't be banned, and people wouldn't get modded for saying things that don't deserve to be modded.

OT would quickly implode and start to invade the rest of the forums one by one until they stumble upon System Wars...Who knows what might happen? :o *shudders*

I guess people would learn to get along or learn to ignore the users that habitually argue with anyone for any reason. Sure someone must clean up the server and all that. Delete this and that for allocation reasons but I don't believe they need to intervene as much as they do. If the trolls aren't posting bait they are reporting someone. It's all the same thing. "Operation **** with some other user for kicks &giggles."

Well technically speaking, that other site does have mods, though they are spread among its boards and there are only a few of them..

So, yeah.

When you have no mods, trolling isnt necessary because I guess you can flame from the get go.

if there were no mods I think more people would advertise constantly on forums disguised as users but spamming forums for product links, I've only seen a little of this on these forums but I think it would be worse if there were no mods since people that pull that crap would know they'd get away with it

I would actually be able to show more personality in my posts and go all out rather than just making casual, run of the mill posts Lol. I'm guessing everyones persona/posting style would get multiplied 10 fold and they'd be alot less subtle about things 8)
