A lot of people are turning what shouldn't have been a big deal into a huge, overblown, overdramatic deal.
It's rather unfortunate. I saw a lot of people who looked like they were going to be reasonable suddenly become very much not so.
[edit: And... this is in Foo, apparently. Huh.]

Its the way its gone about. People don't like to be treated like kids. I understand the deleting of a post here and there, but thing just disappear, are edited, and people are banned with limited knowledge. You treat anyone like a child, and they will act like a child.

it's a shame FGG is boring. when i wasn't being "immature" i liked actually answering people's questions as best i could, and feeling like i was helping someone figure out the stuff i learned through trial and error. yeah, i can still log out and search if need be, but it will be different not being able to contribute.

of course. I can't even get on the track forum. This whole month long ban seems a bit ridiculous

While I have had my disagreements with the way this site is run, and still don't agree with some of the censorship, I don't think foo is the place to argue and hash it out. There are better forums for this topic.

You've got a lot of displaced SSFG people.

no, i can't get into SSFG. i've been ban-hammered.

User assistance is where I would have put it. Or, if it gets real bad, it will be moved into the hidden mod forum for deleted threads. Like the late great Sig test.

As for things disappearing, well... It seems that a lot of the people taking this way too hard, people blowing it out of proportion, and people just looking to pick a fight are now going out of their way to push buttons and make life harder for everyone in the forum. I haven't removed anything myself this evening, but there's a lot of objectionable images being posted, and a lot of threads that might normally pass as "joke threads" but are being taken a bit further.

same here. i'd rather start fresh than jump into someone else's ground like a refugee.
and i already went on a nite ride. and tomorrow i'm going to go on a morning ride. then at work i'll be bored just i won't be able to laugh with a bunch of other jokers in SSFG. then i'll take an afternoon ride home, then a nite ride again whenever i want to leave my house.
