I suppose that may be the case in some incidents, but there are a lot of flame wars spread across the forum, which appear to go unnoticed for some time. Even then, the perpetrators are generally told to settle down and nothing more, which is essentially like telling a five year old not to touch the cookie jar you have conveniently left in plain sight!

To say little of the repeated thread spamming of the general SH5 board, threads which say nothing new, and oft repeat the rage of many weeks previous. Unnecessary. As I said earlier, some forums take a very dim view of such actions, and immediate bans are not unknown. I'm not saying that SubSim should take this route, but stricter moderation is probably needed.

It's Neal's forum though, so this is only my personal opinion.

I guess the mods are cutting people some slack, but there is such a thing as being too lenient.
