    as for the rules,im ok with it..there are rules..if u dont like just open your own page and forum and run it as u think is better
    i agree with alison,u need to put effort to get banned...need more effort to get banned than not.
    i was banned in the past and i deserve it,,i knew the rules and i continue to do the mistake
    as for trolls..IGNORE is huge power..just use it..i do it almost always.or atleast i try
    as for pm the mods..i pm Kat and Sea.,..

    Fair enough.

    I agree- and I said it earlier- you literally have to work to get banned.

    There's some 'wiggle room' for those that like to be aggressive in their approach. One can't be too aggressive- for some... that's a deterrent and I'm pretty sure moderation exists to keep people from being deterred and to encourage participation.

    In your case, the integrity of the band or the band's work was the issue. Moderation is fair to preserve that as well.

    It's not hard to stay in bounds.

    I only started frequenting AMT recently and I love having a place to talk about the kind of things that I don't otherwise get a chance to discuss as I don't know anyone who gives a crap. I personally don't fear being banned or censored as I'm so averse to confrontation that I'm unlikely to ever get mad enough to say anything deserving of such punishment :)

    I do agree with SD though that it often seems that trolls get away with a lot simply because they manage to portray themselves as innocent victims, while those they succeed in baiting are punished when they reach breaking point. I think more could be done to rein in these people who are simply trying to cause trouble

    I do agree with this. I find that the more skilled trolls get away with way too much while thise who actually contribute something worthwhile but are "more emotional" than some others are more likely to get banned.... Really I just don't like lifetime bans. I feel like all bans should have an expiration date, while having no limit on how many times someone gets banned for whatever stretch if time.

    All that said, i have been finding the recent trend of (feigned?) incredulity about getting banned from those who seem to be putting directed effort into getting banned fairly weird and amusing. They go out of their way to say things they know will get them banned, and then act offended when it finally works. I'm not sure I get that.

    AMT is a great sounding board while discussing real issues like your favourite colour, food or movie in other threads.
    It's a nice place to dump unimportant thoughts and feelings.

    Nice place to take a dump too, apparently.

    Please keep your litter clean.

    Is somebody leaving their waist here?

    You may be onto something.

    Maybe I meant this thread should be locked.
    Your question is valid.

    Or maybe some forum accounts should be locked. Stop it now.

    Some posts have been removed. This thread may be reopened in the morning but if this stuff continues on other threads, someone may be read-only.
