I saw this and read karolus response, and I must say, "Great read, good sir!"
Before I was reborn, I was fairly anarchistic, but tempered since outright chaos is non-productive (say...Lawful-Evil in AD&D terms). BUT, there is a time and a place for that and SANET IS NOT THE PLACE!
Since my ARPANET, BBS, newgroups, and early internet days, I've had the utmost respect for those that put a board/forum or download site together. Managing the IT portion is time-consuming, but managing the personalities that show up just to cause strife is NOT a job I would want.
Unfortunately, since the internet is global one can't use threats (or actions) of physical violence to slap the fuckwits in line like I did during my 27 years of architecture. Being 220-230lbs (over 100kg) and a record setting powerlifter helped immensely during those years (now I'm just a broken cripple).
SANET works BECAUSE of the rules in place! The rules are NOT antagonistic to the users, but allow ALL users to interact on an even keel without disrupting the hard work that makes the site functional.
This is why SANET is THE BEST. Sure, I use other sites for specialized 3D stuff, but SANET is like a comfortable family home where you know you can find what you need at the kitchen table and Pa [Login to see the link] or [Login to see the link] will lend a helping hand.
In fact, the SANET Community Forum is probably the best run that I've encountered, and get this: one of VERY BEST educational forums with numerous people who are willing to help out others.
...and I'm heading back to lurker mode LOL!
