I remember when I first came here it was a lot more relaxed and easy going.... and that was just 5 months ago. I see members being banned and warning points being handed out right and left. I am just wondering if anyone is noticing this or not....

Kind Of.

They've gotten a bit better.

At some points, they can be a little defensive, but it's always for a good reason. I voted no.

I was to say the same but about 2-3 years ago

Kind of

They should let open the funny threads like the Ciara one last night

No, there's so much flamebait even in the chart threads.

No. But mods' rules are fun.

sort of.
i don't see why nicknames are so bad. I've never understood that. :P

kindof

but it isnt really ATRL..its more the members who report

but if they think its wrong well.

I was reported and received one point because i said i wanted Katy Perry not to promote her music getting inside an egg.... is that offensive?

Kind of, but if there weren't so many bozos that posted there'd be no need

Kinda, but if we want ATRL to be organized, we need these rules.

I voted kinda. Just because last month I got like 3 WP's for saying that Gaga's new single (keep in mind we had not heard it by this time) could flop and be a mess because of it's controversial lyrics.

Yes.

I don't know. Sometimes I do think it's a little strict, but then I see some of the things that members post on here, and then I think maybe it isn't strict enough. I's not so much the moderators or administrators, but the members. For example, two people could say something really shady/mean/etc. in the same thread, but only one of them will be reported by a member and subsequently get a warning point. So again, you can't blame the staff here for the site being strict, when alot of it has to do with the members.

NO!
I've been on the other forums....*Cough* Ukmix *Cough* is way way way more strict!
