Just wondering, what other site is so self-regulating as FFF?

I belong to other sites, but rarely visit them.
Take the TrekBBS site- I was a' posting on it, and came up against a dude handled "RushLimborg." He was a typical authoritarian lapdog, only Starfleet style. I called him on it & made a little joke (extremely little, Ensign) concerning his assimilation by the Rush, and was given an "Official Warning" that I could be vanquished from the bored (heh) if I received two more.
Gorram Alliance Cortex tactics!
There's like, no other site I've ever been to that allows the heights (or depths) of dissent on this site. We are luckier than we can imagine.

More's the thanks to the wise & almighty Haken!

Just an observation.

Indeed.

I view even such crap as Rappy and PN as the price we pay for freedom of speech.

And really, it's such a small price to pay. Small annoyances from small, petty people.

Yeah, but with no upper limit, it's not like I'm going to hit some magic threshold and be banned, right? :)

You COULD be taunted.

What other site has so many "I love this site" threads?

Well, here's another.

FFF.net Forever!!!

Oh, and Haken, where do we put the receipts?

Ayep, one thing I so dearly love about this place is that it is as close as one could come to a fully functioning anarchist community.

And I have ever been tremendously grateful to Haken for it.

I think the main problem with most boards is that the admins and moderators tend to favor one type of poster or one point of view over another. Haken pretty much leaves it up to us to do what we want, and most of us don't abuse the privilege.

Yeah, so much for objectivity.

Haken is pretty much like Indy's Dad in that way.
