Not so sure the tolerance we enjoyed in the old day's will be seen again. I have observed harmlessly sarcastic and funny posts get jumped on and deleted. Humor is in the eye of the beholder. Many of my old Reef Frontiers mentor friends no longer post due to being slapped one too many times. A few have called it politics, some think it is other issues. "Starting down the slippery slope" of censorship can be much a buzz-kill as uncontolled hostilty. Censorship is a sign of dis-respect.
Judgmental oversight seems to miss the bigger picture of the value of pure entertainment. I mainly read and contribute here as a means of blowing off stress from family medical stuff and my stressful type of work. Much of my writing here is just satire, some humor, but much is content added, as a pro-bono contribution to Reef Frontiers and the hobby.
Ya, RF stats are probably up. New paid sponsors, newby members, total post count stabile. But there are many ways to assign quality. Sorry for the sermon, but even sorrier to have Krish no longer being a respected moderator for the newbies. His wet shoes will be impossible to fill.
Many previous great contributers and personal site friends now prefer to say nothing in lieu of stirring the pot. I can list dozens of RF old timers with 1000s of excellent posts who rarely even bother to sign on. Sadly, a pot that is never stirred gets ruined...
