I agree.and the amazing part is that u really havent started any LOL
Who the hell is complaining about the Exchange section anyway? And apparently enough for the forum to consider global changes? Sorry but that is annoying. Again, my first thought when I saw the new rules this morning was "why is this even happening- why is something that's not broken being 'fixed'". Well...clearly the status of the exchange section is a matter of perspective because this wouldn't be being broached if others weren't taking issue.
Truly- the whole thing really seems like much ado about nothing- at least from my perspective. And I buy and sell here; never have I felt like I didn't have enough visibility or someone else is cluttering up the exchange section and I'm not getting enough views etc. nor have I ever thought as a buyer 'oh having to sift through all these postings blah blah blah".
Honestly the fact the rules are being considered at all and why they are is actually more of a red flag to me than the rules themselves. Furthermore- and as somewhat of an extension of that thought- the reason why this topic is generating such a debate is because it involves telling people that there are going to be, basically, more (and more stringent) regulations insofar as what they can and cannot do on this forum. People don't like being controlled, especially on the internet because to an extent its seen as a much more free context than other parts of life. So again- what is bugging me about the whole thing actually is less about the proposed rules themselves than the fact the whole idea of tightening them is being considered at all.
And where that might lead from here- I'm a firm believer in concept of the slippery slope (I know some here are not if not exactly the opposite) so I see this and I wonder what next. Not that it really matters- the forum could cease tomorrow or I could take a break for a quarter or year (as I have before) and be no the worse for it. But I also do enjoy being here and if nothing else but for the sake of argument I've felt the need to chime in.
A comment was made by an old forum member about this.Fair enough - and we may be overthinking it - think we need to take a step back and think about what, if anything we are trying to fix.
Yes but here is the thing. We are all grown ups but as I am understanding it this is a PG-13 type of forum as there are families with kids that see everything we do.
One of the reasons the swear filter is in place so we don't corrupt the poor innocent little minds of the children of our future.
I'm not talking about the swear filter. It's people's posts getting deleted. Some kind of power trip or something
