Spending less time on FABO

Now on many sites, Superdart would have just earned himself a permanent ban for attacking the site's mods and admins..

But not here. Why?

Because we do our best to leave the lines of communication as open and fair as we can. Now, sometimes that means there are comments that are not the best. Sometimes, they only SEEM to be out of line for some. Other times, they are out of line.

Staff is in a difficult position. We dont want to be censors, and avoid doing so. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen someone say something, and it came out wrong or was "under-worded" so that it seems impolite. It happens a lot and can be unintentional many times.

Then there are egos, which can be and often are, bruised so very easily and also often unintentionally. Simple differing opinions can easily, through just one word, be turned into wars between the participants.

We aren’t perfect, and we don’t read each and every post. We just can’t. But in general, we really try not to ban people, delete posts because of what we "think" the poster was trying to say, etc. We try not to be parents here because none of you are children. I don’t believe it's the mod's job to sanitize everything posted.

Staff works hard to try to give everyone a place that is generally friendly, helpful and beneficial for all.

Joey, I am not saying anything bad about the site or you yourself. The site is fine. There is no way to police the issue as I see it. It is up to us to police ourselves. We need to remind ourselves that though we may not agree with what the last guy posted, we need to reply to the original question and not shoot down someones reply just because we don't agree.
