People who read/frequent TWOP...interesting news...
http://blogs.televisionwithoutpity.com/thetelefile/2008/03/announcement-from-the-founders.html

The site's founders are stepping down. Do you think this means the site will become less Gestapo-like in its moderating techniques?

1. Hopefully
I've always been scared to attempt posting there. Haruka has an account she doesn't use there; she's scared of the rules.

2. I've posted probably fewer than 50 times, and I have 2 (!) warnings.
Both for violation of a rule I didn't know existed. Neither for anything even remotely related to flaming another poster, being rude to the site or moderators, or deliberately putting one toe over the line. You only get 5 warnings before you get banned, so I got too scared to post. :scared:

6. I got a warning for using slashes instead of periods in a date in a thread title.

5. Glark was the voice of reason over there...
Which isn't saying a whole hell of a lot.


:scared: I'm never going back over there again.
