We don't like to be moderation nazis more than on FF/GF. I must admit that it can be fun to post nonsense, but as Toddel indicated, it makes a big mess of the forums. For me it was the main reason I didn't post on the old forums often. It just took so much time to find interesting quality posts, I'd rather spend that time on modding.
We like to raise the bar a bit, and we figured it is best to do that from the start before it gets out of hand. You have to draw the line somewhere, it just happens to be a bit more strict than on the old forums. It should not prevent you from having a fun time here, but you think if we push it to much, let it be heard.
