Hear hear.
So will this increased moderation activity be aimed specifically at idiocity, crudeness, hijacking, or controversialism?
We have to trust the moderators to decide what's crap and what's valid? Well, they've done good so far I guess...
Funnily enough, I noticed this on the way in:
Lets see how long my post lasts. ;D

I think on the whole the mods do a good job, basically it's common sense stuff - though there IS a 'Rules' page that pretty much spells it out - for example, no profanity.

A lot of people have trouble with this concept. I don't mean this in a bad nit-picky way, and I'm definitely not aiming this at you, Rasher2K. I've certainly been guilty of it myself. I mean it more in a "it's human nature" kind of way. Nobody likes it when their opinions are squashed, after all.
Most people see internet message boards as being common "town hall"-style meeting places, but truthfully they're more like a big gathering being held on private property, and the owner of said property has every right to do whatever the heck he or she sees fit. Think of BYOAC as a big party being held at Saint's house, and the moderators as the people that he's asked to be "bouncers" at his party. That's what helps me keep perspective anyway...

Like my DSL is THAT GOOD...
Keep in mind that we're not so much censoring as keeping people civil, on topic, and legal. And it's not that we care what you do, it's that we care what you do HERE.
