IMO, This thread is an example of the CL functioning as intended. However I don't like what's being eluded to here from either side. It sounds almost like some people would be happier with a 3rd party review board interceding on matters of rule violation. I'm confident this would be a very bad move. I can almost guarantee justice would not be served and worse yet, injustices would be. FK's use of first party moderation is the single biggest factor I'm still here. Careful what you ask for.

While FL may get annoying sometimes, that's my problem not his. I don't think asserting one's self no matter how adamantly, is in violation or deserves a spotlight. Some of the CL may be annoying but that's a possibility you accept as members. Profusely antagonizing a mute point doesn't make you a favorite. That's a risk we accept as well.

The CL is functioning as intended.

The only glaring issues with FK are external to the boards and lay squarely in the hands of those who pay the bills, none of whom are participating in this thread. If they want to mistreat their mods and flush potential ad dollars down the drain, let em. I support any mod who steps down to stand up for whats right and I support any member ruffling as many feathers as they want so long as its not socially unacceptable.
