All I've said is that your idea of "hardcore" moderation doesn't sound remotely deserving of a title that makes it sound like some kind of iSharia for TFP, it sounds more like a sane and routine means of keeping the forum running smoothly. I mentioned other forums purely as an example of what DOES deserve such an ominous titling, not out of some kind of subtle attempt to demean TFP.
Calm down a bit and take a step back and try to take the compliment on your reasonableness for what it is, it's got nothing to do with my having joined only 3 years ago compared to your 7 and there's no need to turn this into a personal issue like that.

Thanks for the compliment.
I don't think it's a personal issue, but I do think that we're trying to beat the rafters and get more people like you to stop lurking and start participating at a mature and discussable level. It's hard to have a discussion with someone who just sits off to the side and never says anything but just watches.
When the TB used to be here, it was from time to time we had to turn it off so that people would actually say hello. We don't have that choice anymore since it is now it's own site. Thus, we've got to find ways to encourage people to participate. Lowering the bar I find tends to get people to come out of their shell but the discussions are shallow. Raising the bar, makes it a bit harder, but positing thoughtful responses is the hope to challenge someone to include their own thoughts and press submit.
