I think the moderation has gone way too far imo, it's completely sterile here now, I have had comments deleted and a warning via PM (which I missed) because apparently commenting "awesome!" "nice" "pawg!" "incredible" "beautiful" suuuuuurrrrrwweeeeeet" is breaking rules, I mean fuck off! - can I say fuck off ?? or is that another banned thing - fuck off, fuck off, fuck off - is acting childish a banning offense too ??
I understood moderating to be a part of the word moderation, not obliteration, to be used to remove racist, homophobic, gender-phobic, xenophobic, etc, etc unpleasantness, not the complete obliteration of the character of the website and it's participants.
When you create a website you get to decide what kinds of things you want to allow on that forum.
You did not create this particular website, ergo what you think should and should not be allowed is irrelevant.
If you don't follow the rules that are in place here your posts will be moderated. It's that simple.
The prohibition on one word comments has been in place for years. It matters not that you dislike it.

Glad you agree.
There is, of course, no prohibition on one-word forum posts, so while I see what you're trying to do there, it's not as clever as you think.

I like tiredeyes, I picture him being a grown ass adult being all pouty face and having his arms crossed like a 5 year old.
It's a pretty amusing image.

Really, Eric?
Wow.
It's bad enough that you'd think that, but that you'd be willing to post it says even more, and may well explain part of the culture and attitude that has led to lower and lower site interaction from users.

Well he's right in the sense that when you build a website you get to chose what rules you put into it and there is nothing wrong in enforcing those rules whether some people like it or not.
Now feedback and suggestions are always welcome but there is a difference between suggesting and discussing something and basically stating that a rule shouldn't apply to you.

True. And fair enough.
But no website is successful without their customers. Not a single one.
Customers should not be shut down or told they are meaningless (publicly especially) when they are expressing legitimate concerns - even if they articulate them poorly.

Fair enough, but I didn't think the person in question was asserting that he should be exempt from the rule, but rather was critiquing the rule for everyone.

That's true but not every customer (or member) has the same opinion on everything. So every choice you'll make for your website will attract some and drive away others.
The choice as been made to keep the comment from being too spammy and meaningless. The rules aren't even restrictive at all in that regard unless you are very lazy or just want to spam the comment section.

Tiredeyes hasn't been shut down in the first place. I first explained him why this rule existed and how he could improve his comments in that regard. Then he started to act like a child so I think EL's answer to that was appropriate.

He wasn't causing other users any problems. He was causing the moderators problems.
He wasn't shut down to protect the other users. That's certainly not my perception at least. He wasn't impacting any of us. His complaint about the moderators was unlikely to drive me or any other customers away from the site.
I'm honestly pretty skeptical that he got that response out of concern for how it was going to drive away other customers.

Oh, I understand the rule. I happen to like the rule. I disagree with Tiredeyes about his stance on the rule. I just didn't appreciate the way he was responded to.

That was a general statement.
For example : people will like the rule of not allowing spammy comments, others won't. It has nothing to be with tiredeyes comment here ^^
