[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5715472, member: 177"] Yes, but we of the moderation staff are not your parents. We don't want to be your parents. We don't have time to be parents to thousands of users. Nor do we have the same kinds of power and authority as parents. And, while I think to some folks it sounds good, "Just let the mods lay about them with banhammers with wild abandon if it keeps the peace," is apt to have unforeseen repercussions on the tenor of these boards that would be worse than the current situation. The number of false positives would likely be alarming, and would cheese off many otherwise good posters. And, to be honest, several threads lately have reaffirmed to me that this community is not really ready to be reintegrated. Too many people are holding old grudges, too ready to re-engage in the old fights if given too much of an excuse. You're right, it is a sub-optimal arrangement. We didn't want to do it in the first place, but I've not seen evidence that anything else would work better. I'll play it as Morrus wants, but if he asks my opinion, I'd officially recommend against it. [/QUOTE]
