Well I'd just like to say thanks to the moderators ...
About 6 months ago there was a lot of discussion around the amount of modding that should be done, how strict to be etc.
I was concerned about over aggressive moderation but in general I've been pleasantly surprised by how smooth and easy-going things are going around here.

This is huge. Discussion is great. Calling each other names and getting into pissing contests isn't...

photo size
when attaching a photo to a post, I'd like a simple way to make it bigger or smaller.

I'm more of an ass man. But there was plenty of that, too.

I think if ndcent has a specific issue he should elaborate and back it up with talking points.
This doesn't seem unbecoming to me... unbecoming would be starting a thread, PM'ing a person about it, them replying with support and a counterpoint, and then PM'ing them again to call them an a s shole and promising to never "help" them again. Oh yeah, and then deleting all other member comments, making it a sticky, and locking the thread. Yes, that really happened recently (in another forum).

And the ability to enter text in between attachments.

Oh, and the reason given for shutting down the hot chicks thread was because all the T&P&A "upset advertisers."
Not sure how the ads on this site work, but I just found, and clicked on, one for Frederick's of Hollywood. I doubt that they'd be "offended."
Methinks there's something more going on here.
Call me paranoid.

Firefox and Adblock Plus means I never see any advertisements.

Less advertising and rules. If two people have things to say to each other let them. Majority of us are adults and can be civil after a few words. Plus it's entertaining for others to read.

Advertising keeps this site FREE for us, I had ad block on chrome and I've never seen one.
I think the rules are pretty lax here, the mod squad lets people say everything on their mind, but I don't find it entertaining to read two people cursing each other out or calling each other names to no avail or making baseless personal attacks... like you said, the key is being civil. When it isn't civil it's stupid. if people really want to do that, do it over PM is my suggestion

Just some friendly advice: Calling Thai names, and then imploring us not to call others names, rings a little hollow.

I don't want to re hash my argument with Thai but were on good terms and I think some sarcasm may have been missed in there and it was a mid understanding.
Regardless, both of our posts were moderated accordingly. I don't think that a moderator asking people to follow the rules "rings hollow". Sometimes people get carried away and it gets handled and that's what happened there.
