[QUOTE="woodelf, post: 2339039, member: 10201"] That's a good point, that i hadn't thought of in that direction. I agree: behavior in a particular thread spills over, and affects the general tone. My basic premise is that if the expected behavior is self-moderation and behaving oneself, that is the overall result. And that the feel i get from the boards right now is of being baby-sat. Which, IMHO, leads to people pushing the limits [i]more[/i], not less, because rather than moderating themselves, they keep pushing until they're shut down. But maybe it's just my perception. Or i'm wrong. Maybe the effect you're talking about is simply more powerful than the one i'm talking about. Never been on Nutkinland/Nothingland. My counter-observation is the people i know from here and RPGNet who seem to be much better-behaved on RPGNet than here. Or, more often, behave the same in either place--i.e., obviously setting their own standards. [/QUOTE]
