I blame the mods for making the forum so shit lately, yet a mod is trying to tell us it's our fault people are getting banned and we need to change for the sake of the forum.
I dislike this.

The mods might not be perfect but they're not our babysitters either. I wouldn't blame someone if they smacked a kid after he swore at them 100 times. It's sort of the same thing here.
Yeah true.Since now, this "Fuck the Mods" attitude has to stop.
I have to say, in this whole thread, this is the most brilliant analogy I have ever read (even better than any I have given). What's said above is EXACTLY how I feel things have come to.
The rules are very minimal, I mean really guys, all I mainly look for is:
- No porn
- No excessive trolling (I get the fun trolling every now and then, no problems there)
- No attacking/berating/insulting other users (I know there's kidding that happens, again, no problems there, but know when to stop).
- Respect the mods. I'm not saying you have to agree with them, but there will be no more tolerance for the type of pics that popped up, or the "cunt" this and that, very personal insults, etc.
That's it! I don't see the things above can't be avoided, and let's be honest, if they're that hard to avoid more than likely, news flash, you're simply a grade A troll.
One other thing, amazingly, I am very happy for all the PMs/emails I've gotten since this whole thing blew up last week. I really didn't expect it. I didn't reply to all, but thank you. It's clear there are more folks here that would like to see OT stay than those who don't really care about its fate.
Count me in.I hope that you're all ready to cooperate and work together to make this place a better one.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm blaming you (us). I don't really consider myself a mod, since I'm as active as anyone here and post just as much as anyone. I was pretty much trying to voice what people have been telling me. I don't really see how I accused everyone of making this forum worse, I just, as stated before, was voicing what people have been telling me. I'm only trying to *repair* what has been done. Again, sorry if this seemed like an attack, it was nowhere near of being one.
Why do I feel so guilty? :[
I for one, totally agree on this. There are 2 types of trolls here. Positive trolls and negative ones. Like dicki said, trolling to a certain amount should be tolerated and might even be a good thing (positive trolls) but some people go to far, and do it in a annoying/shitty/lame way (negative trolls). In my opinion THOSE trolls should be struck with the banhammer, and not the positive ones. Yet the annoying fucktard trolls always seem to get away with shit, and good trolls get banned on regular basis. I wont go much deeper into the reasons why i think that the good trolls get banned, because thats been discussed infinite times now I agree cobot is on its last pair of legs but i think the mods blame it on the wrong people.
But yah, yay for a better cobot
What kind of troll are you?
