New Terms of Use rant

It's not often that I do a rant blog, but I feel that I have to get this one out.

Recently GameSpot has made changes to their Terms of Use and it's currently on Phase 2. I thought we would be in Phase 3 by now, but whatever. But anyway, with these changes, I could see the community becoming a lot worse. In fact, I've already heard that the OT forum is worse. I only post there sometimes, so I wouldn't know too much. But really? Removing flaming and trolling from the ToU? What was the reason for that? Those are two rules that should apply to every forum out there and to remove them is unreasonable. To remove those is a terrible idea and might be the worst idea GS has ever made. I can understand being more lenient with some things, but they went way too far here. They didn't need to remove those rules. I am surprised by how much support I've seen over this, even though I've seen some backlash too. I also don't like how people can bypass the censor completely now. I don't want to see the F word and stuff thrown all over the place and I'm sure others don't. I never been fond of swearing in the first place.

One change I do like is that they are less strict when it comes to posting pictures of skimpy girls, but I'm a bit biased in that department, because I'm a fan of girls in skimpy clothing.That's honestly probably the only change I like.I do know that some people don't like it though, because I've seen complaints about that change too. So, anyone else share my feelings here?
