The Quote button
I still fail to see how this helps anything though. All it does is make us press a differant button and make the layout make even less sense.
Actually, since I've been back, almost a year now, I don't think ANY thread of this type has EVER had EVERYONE say they don't like any individual change of policy/enforcement of existing rules, much less ever have even a perceivable percentage of the membership actually post to COMPLAIN in one of these threads.
AFAIK no rules have actually changed. IIRC, MR was banned for being pugnacious, unrelenting in his constant complaining about almost everything under the sun and, most especially, for his obstinant refusal to remove his commercial advert. No matter how long it remained "under the radar." the simple fact is that it was always against the rules and no amount of what he "perceived as toleration" made it any less of a rule violation.
It's actually interesting that you bring his ghost back into this discussion, because the barracks have seemed to me to be a much more laid back place without his presence here, but that's just a personal observation. I tried very hard to get him to settle down, in the forums and by PM, but he managed to dig his own grave.
Whatever, that was post was way off topic, we're actually trying to come up with solutions here. If anyone dislikes the culture here in this community. they are free to leave, but jumping back in here and into a discussion in order to toss a molotov cocktail because the place you'd rather be visiting is down, would be considered rude across all the internet I've ever experienced.
Whatever . . . :
. . . the Padlock Pause is STILL in effect, so let's hear some serious, well thought out, politely expressed commentary and, hopefully, a couple of outside the box suggestions for fixing this problem/impasse!
