  Maybe that thread was toxic? I could see how threats could be considered toxic.

  I read the "fix it or we riot" thread. It wasn't toxic to me. I thought it was very entertaining. Js

  @masmith93 I think we were having fun and do not think we were spamming. On every board I have been on, threads do weave and touch different things. There are some threads, like @SlickRick one on the changes which really is more of a straightforward discussion thing.
  
  Part of the fun of boards is being able to enjoy discussions. I personally do not want to spam or troll. Don't get my kicks from that. But being a bit goofy when the situation presents itself and in context where appropriate, guilty as charged. This recent stuff has given things a bit of a chilling effect for sure.

  @Perdtin I agree, but clearly it is not our opinion that counts (If only ). Since we've seen a lot of recently bannings, I don't think it's fair of the admin and mods to issue blanket statements without specific examples of things we need to avoid.
  
  In the thread that was closed, there was no important information, no one was being toxic, and frankly, it was all good fun. Unlike some threads we've seen recently.
  
  In the thread you started (Brooklyn) a mod warned 'us' all that we would be banned for not staying on topic. Then reconsidered, edited his post and moved the thread.
  
  So again, I ask for clarification, so everyone can play by the same rules and there is no confusion or subjectiveness.

  # 1. The Mods are " new to moderating " and it shows...
  ( I've been communicating on Internet Boards for more than 30 years...)
  # 2. The Mods are dealing with Language differences and Cultural References that are not always understandable...
  ( such as, " the dreaded, I triple dog dare ya... " )
  # 3. Some people are more interesting than others...
  ( the " Board Members " usually themselves, protect the Board... And protect the innocent... )

  I am easily confused by other people's, laziness and sloppiness and greed...
  
  Any guess who might " now " be on my list, ( in 2017 )

  I think the mods are aware of the sense of humour that exists amongst regular posters, and with a jot of initiative should realise the difference between jokes, irony and spam!

  @Neil_J...
  
  A lot of times, it comes down to " Fear of Mayhem " thus, the fallback position of " RULES "
  
  It's hard to trust the " Anonymous Unwashed Masses "...
