Nice is relative; civility is always in favor.
During my tenure, I can’t think of anyone who has been unjustly banned.
Most all of us have had questions modded or removed, for various reasons. It’s usually very easy to see the rationale and make corrections.
We have had blatant trolls and self aggrandizing attention mongers get banned; generally, we cheer when that happens.
No, this site is not just another virtual social handshake pretending to claim Nirvana. Heated debates take place daily and are an expected part of the social aspect. However, when they denigrate to name calling and personal attacks; they become pointless. Therefore, our mods are invaluable.
Excessive text-speak, atrocious spelling, and poorly prepared questions all diminish the integrity of the site and are frowned upon. Thank goodness.
