[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5520989, member: 1"] It's obvious that there are those who will disagree - that's the nature of the internet. And that's fine; it would be a dull place if we were all the same. But we do have to go with the policy of "at times we'll listen to your opinions, and may agree with with, but we need to go with what our decade of experience doing this tells us works; and sometimes (not referring to you in particular - the general "you") we completely disagree with your community-management theories, although we recognise that you believe you're right". And yes, hyperbole aside, it does share qualities with a "brute squad" (less the antisocial or violent implications) within a certain very limited environment. We find an element of that is necessary in this non-utopian environment. You need to remember that we're not judges, elected public servants, social engineers, or arbitrators of ideals such as fairness; nor do we have any influence on behaviour anywhere but right here - we can't affect your quality or way of life or anything in your day-to-day existence - we're people simply enforcing the behaviour we've decided we want to see on our website. I think we do pretty OK, overall. Sure there are those who would like to see us die in an eternal fire, but they're usually elsewhere and have very odd senses of perspective and proportion. [/QUOTE]
