shit, i.e. Infractions. Bottom line is, while this place is very lax, there are still rules. And some level of decency toward one another really isn't asking too much. I didn't lock the thread, and I didn't unlock it, but I support the decision that another staff member made to lock it in the first place, as that's what they felt the best course of action was.

Very lax, by comparison with a local board that I moderate on. It's likely the largest in the Toronto area and uses the same software with all the infraction giving goodness, including the temporary bans. The rules are no flaming, no swearing (not even bypassing the word filters with things like f*ck and a$$). I moderate in the Law and Highway Traffic Act section, so you can imagine how many people have received a ban from me, temporary or permanent.
Lately we've had people whine about how they "don't get treated like adults" on that board, to the point that a couple of people are now misrepresenting themselves as members of a large riding group and stating that they are going to boycott businesses that support the board, unless things change. The board's owner is holding firm and telling them to go pound sand, which is fully supported by the majority of members.
Considering that he founded the board as a place where people could go and not take abuse from the "old boys' club", I admire him for sticking to his guns. I just hate having to enforce those draconian rules.
