So, I've modded a lot lighter over the past few days. It still grinds my gears that people are starting threads without first reading the rules and the FAQs, but I'm starting to believe that's (sadly) just an unrealistic expectation. The lower expectations are certainly a lot easier and less stressful for me.
Frankly, I was tired of spitting against the wind. If I keep up the "light modding," certainly, this forum will not be all that I and a bunch of the regulars wanted it to be. However, it wasn't really getting much closer with tighter modding, either. It was mostly an exercise in frustration--at the end of the day, there are few means by which mods/regulars can encourage people to read the FAQs/rules before posting. I'm can't (or rather, I'm not) just going to ban or dub people for ignorance.
Personally, I think I'd rather do this the way I've done it over the past few days.
Thoughts?
