You are exaggerating.

I agree with the statements Ly made. What Ly, and other mods/admin say, along with what the rules say, and how the execution of the rules are carried out are different things.

I, and other mods, have made repeated reminders of the rules of this forum in very no-nonsense and strict wording. Not one of us has ever given someone an infraction for a couple of lower case letters or a misspelled word if, in general, the rest of the post and the member's posting habits are generally good.

We will infract someone if they continually post poorly. We used to have to give public and PM warnings before the infraction system was set up though. With the new, more private and easy system, there is a lot less embarrassment and hassle on the boards until someone decides to made a public fuss about it.

An example of someone who just didn't get it is in a post that used to be on this thread. The post was deleted from public view by request of the original, now banned member. Just to satisfy your curiosity the member that posted the below comment was banned for starting alter-egos and trolling.

Hey ppl, im new to dis place so id thought i shud write sumfin ..... so hello howz evry1

Even you must agree that the above post is unacceptable. It was even placed in a thread about posting properly. If we do not call people on posts like this though then the entire forum turns into a chat room and nothing useful would get accomplished.

Ly does not owe anyone an apology for reminding people of the rules and telling them not to be lazy.

If your problem lies with Ly then this whole thing should have been taken to the PM system or you should have emailed the owner with your concerns. A diatribe against one moderator or member does not belong on the public boards.

Since you have failed in producing the proof I asked for but posted anyway I am making the thread into a temporarily moderated thread. That means any responses will need moderator approval before they will appear for the general public.
