Yeah, we tend to be a little strict here, but that's because this is an all access forum, and anyone can join. There could be 8 year olds posting among us and we have no idea, so that's why we try to hold back on the foul language, violence, arguments, etc.. Sometimes we don't, but then usually the ban squad comes by, and not only censors your post, but bans you. Oh, and not only the fact that there are youngin's present, it's just that fact that nobody really likes an argument to break out inside of a close knit community. Sure, we have a lot of members on this forum, but how many of those actually stick around?
Oh, and if you learn your limits, then this forum may not seem as strict. I try to keep a positive, funny attitude here, but also can show a serious side if I really had to. I just realized that over 3/4 of my posts are in the social lounge.. I should probably try to help out more in the other sub-forums :\
