Now why did I just
know a thread like this was going to be started soon...
This is a moderated message board with rules that have to be followed. The reason for this is because of the sheer amount of traffic that the board gets. If anyone could post anything they wanted then this place would be a total shambles.
As for greenlighters getting their posts closed -
everyone can get their posts closed if they should be. Hell, I closed two threads recently - one started by Mr Horse and one by johnboy. The reason that more greenlighter threads get closed is because frankly, they fuck up more often than bluelighters. And this happens because they don't spend long enough lurking and just responding before launching themselves into starting threads of their own.
As harsh as it sounds, people need to get a feel for the culture of a new place before coming in and doing things that often are wrong. Now I don't want to discourage new people from getting involved, but I would like to encourage people to have a look around and test the water for a while rather than jumping in feet first in the deep end.
Ultimately though, what it boils down to is that if you don't like it, then go somewhere else.
Thankyou, have a nice day.

Hell yeah bunny -
severe de ja vu! I think we are in agreement this time though...
