I am glad this got bumped by Hal. I hadn't seen it the first time around, and I think it is important to keep discussions going. I assume that it was bumped because things are starting to degrade back again.
But the interesting theme I was getting from the prior posts was that the non mod's seem to have a concern over offending the mod's. I know I have at times had that concern. I also have had doubts about either starting a thread that would be deemed useless, partially my own self doubt, partially I don't want to potentially annoy a mod with a waste of space. Probably becuase of this, I actually prefer commenting on other's threads, and hopefully I have been informative, funny, supportive, whatever. I also hope it has been taken in the appropriate manner.
At the same time, I have been hesistant to comment on certain member's posts becuase of the nature of either the post or the member. (note that this post is predominantly responded to by mod's - not a safe territory to have a contrary opinion.) My point being: in a mature community, I know that there is a need to guide the membership in a direction, so I hope that future suggestions on style do what is intended - help not hinder the posting on TFP.
Keep in mind, I have enjoyed the TFP in all facets, and over time my focus has shifted as I have explored more. I think that the mod's are on target 99% of the time (we are all human, nobody is perfect), and as someone suggested before, it's your court, I'm just trying to get in the game and do the best I can. Hopefully I can keep up the standard that has been set by Hal and his crew.
