People always bring up EJ style of moderation but it's too much IMO for this community. I'm not afraid to be wrong, but I won't post at EJ because I don't like the way they moderate. It works for them, more power to em. But I don't think it's for us.

'nova, I am not trying to imply that I think the style of moderation ought to change on these forums. In fact, I enjoy these forums more specifically because I feel like I can post something without worrying about bannination. Then again, the looser form of moderation does lead to redundancy and some laziness from people who are unwilling to use the search function.

i get a number of calls from various levels of users... and quite a few beginners have been on these forums, but were afraid to post their questions... even in the newbie section... for fear of ridicule.
I can't really respond directly to what you're saying without knowing specifics, but most, if not all, of the blunt and perhaps "rude" comments made in the Newbie section that I have read were directed towards posters who were asking the same question for the nth time.
