Just for the sake of fairness...
I'm very new to this forum. I don't know the history of people, and frankly I don't even know who's moderator or not (
I'm guessing the green name indicates moderator?).
My first impression of the thread was similiar to what the OP in this thread stated. Then I realized some posters were moderators, and while it shouldn't make a lot of difference (
we should all try to play nice, right?) it did make me feel a bit worse about it all.
I would probably not have posted there at all, if it wasn't because I felt that the video was getting more negativity than it deserved and already from start... Or maybe I would have, I don't know. I wrote my honest opinion in either way.
I do understand the critisism, but I feel uneasy with the way it was delivered and especially the sense - as I felt it - of ''ganging up''.
Just saying I understand Orange Gelatos reasoning behind this post.
Now, I havn't been here long. I havn't seen spam or mean behaviour or anything else that would make me question how this site is moderated, except the example in this thread. I've managed to have my own post moderated already, but that was completely fair since I should have paid more attention to rules.
(
Quite unlike me actually... I run a group of 5000 members and realize how much extra work it is just because people don't read the rules... I feel pretty stupid about that mistake. *facepalm*)
My thoughts on this, after this thread and after what little experience I have on the forum, is that the attitude is probably good natured between people who know each other fairly well. For a new member who isn't used to it, it can look worse than it is.
I'm just gonna crawl back to the hole I came from now
