I know on fwz there is 0 tolerance and rules are applied mechanically. A lot of people here are moderators elsewhere and know from experience that being a moderator does have flexibility and just requires common sense; it just depends how nitpicky you choose to be and how much common sense you want to use.

I’ve been a mod and even an admin on other sites. The difference IMO is just how FLEXIBLE this site really is — most of what’s allowed to be posted would be bannable on other sites. Hell, necro-ing threads is bannable on many sites :rolleyes:

That’s what makes this one so tough. People expect to get treated with kid gloves for things which on other sites might be allowed as a joke, but on this site could be seen as trolling in somewhere specifically excluded from trolling. I believe that’s why the rules have gotten so tight around here.
