[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 5804343, member: 7808"] I'm also not a mod, but here's my take : Edition wars are not tolerated well. It is always safe to say "I love X about Edition A". Saying "I hate Y about Edition B" is not going to get you banned, but it has a possibility to sour a discussion, which may lead to a thread being closed. Saying "You're stupid because you like/hate Z" is a one way ticket to a vacation from the boards. The moderators here are very strongly against any kind of personal attacks. Sometimes, people get upset because they believe a person who is being inflammatory is not punished, but other people who respond to the inflammatory posts are. But in most of these cases you will notice that the perceived troublemaker is very careful to never insult people directly, while the (punished) responders cross the line and make things personal. I have seen people claim that this promotes a culture of passive aggression. I have also seen at least one case where the mods were successfully trolled by someone intentionally toeing the line and getting people riled up (and banned). But despite that, IME this is one of the better moderated boards on the internet. [/QUOTE]
