From my observation. None of this was an issue until recently, and it stems from a few posters that started running to the mods. Then the mods posted the rules, and the posters who ran to the mods to begin with, began breaking the very rules they reported, only with no repercussions. It became a different set of rules for the “haves” (paying members) than the “have nots” (non paying members).
Maybe it’s me, but that’s just an observation from someone who has stayed out of the fray intentionally for the last couple weeks.
The board used to have some fantastic posters that just a couple of folks have been allowed to drive off. More will follow suit IMO.
Anyway, just my perception. Take it fwiw, which probably isn’t much.
