    Posted in the Backroom for 2 month (Ap-Ju) , got a warning , a PM etc' every 5 posts and arrogant remarks regarding my bad English (it is not my language) , did not like it , left the Backroom since , but to say or imply that there is a conspiracy or somthing like that ? Come on , it is only a forum , not the Roman Senate...Please , not nice , not nice (but I can understand your feelings Crazed Rabbit) .

    what is "the tone of late" and how can this be improved?
    It is people getting warned for reporting a mod's post, others being warned for 'destroying a fun thread', comments like Spino's being edited without reason, mod's making retard jokes, etc. Basically, it is a tone of patrons being warned for disagreeing with a mod.

    Oh, and Solypsist, why didn't you post in the thread that you were moving it, as you did in your example?

    No disrespect to anyone intended, but IMHO the atmosphere here is getting just a bit too much on the side of paranoid. Maybe we should have a "Gulag" forum, where people who feel they are being oppressed by mods in other forums could post? I would be happy to offer my services as a moderator of such a forum, and promise to randomly edit peoples posts, inserting pro-homosexuality and anti-gun ownership sentiments and otherwise commit many outrageous acts of liberal oppression on the exiles languishing there.

    (NB this is a joke, but really people, lighten up a bit?)

    The topic is just moved to the Frontroom. This problem solved -> this topic gets closed.

    This is very one-sided and subjective...one could say that it's the patrons who are overly sensitive and whining about every warning. However ,that too is one sided and subjective. I think it's in the middle, but why is this the fact?
    hence the second question

    How can we improve this?
