Less "freedom" with actual forum rules that will be strictly followed by moderators, that's how I imagine it. To help that cause I'll do moderators a favor and stay away from the place.
Yeah one can hope not, but that seems like the direction things are going...
In the past month it seems like this board in particular has seen an uptick in moderating, or at least that is what I have perceived.
Kind of sad cause I really like these forums even people I don't like, to some degree I value their presence because it adds to a whole... like the muted havelle (who -1's all my posts), clockworkkiller, oberyn and his wife hesky.
It's a refreshing, multicultural corner of the world we had here with little to no rules when it comes to topics, profanity, prejudices, opinions etc... but I guess that all has to change eventually, for some reason.
Maybe for melee forums they can make 2 separate boards: "General off Topic (moderated)" and "General off Topic (unmoderated)"
One can only hope.
