Oh don't worry I don't take it personal because it is just the internet, but I also want to maintain the Basement as a place that grows in traffic. Part of that is keeping it free of excessive flaming (we all flame off here and there and it is overlooked sometimes and sometimes not), as well as excessive thread derailment because it tends to frustrate people and they don't always come back or threads become shit because of it.
Fun I agree with....but at some point purposeful derailment and even jokingly flaming turns much more serious in nature and can cause problems. Understand my position also that I was put in this position in order to keep these things from happening and enforcing the TOS when it is being violated. Like I said many times I will just delete the offending posts but today it seems everyone wants to be a dumbass and push all the wrong buttons that they know better than to push and so they recieve the agreed upon warnings and consequences.
