To be fair, the mods can't do that anymore because of the nonsense in every other forum that it provokes. I ask people time, and time, and time again not to fuck around in the music forum and the same people do it anyway over, and over again.

And I'd hardly say that all silliness is restricted to the off-topic forum, as if all other forums were 100% serious with no joking allowed, I'd leave the forum.

I like you aaron and I respect your opinion, but to be 100% straight with you, if you want to leave the forum that is entirely your call. Heavier moderation is necessary as the site gets busier, otherwise it all goes to shit. We try and find the balance between being forum nazis and having a good time, and as of late there is WAY too much shit in the music forum. It's not even "as of late", as I've been asking people to knock it off for months now.
There have been 619 moderator actions this month so far. That includes things like moving threads and changing titles, but a good 75% of it is deleting posts that are out of line, and the month isn't even half over.
If you're expecting the mods, or myself, to sway our opinions on how to run ss.org based off of "I'll leave" remarks, with all due respect you will be disappointed. This site caters to everyone, longtime members and new folks alike, and we make decisions with the best interests of everyone in mind.

Not criticizing, just pointing out some facts that I feel need to be addressed as there may have been relevant discussions that happened in the mod forum that none of us can see that would make this make a lot more sense.

Same here. I hope I've addressed your concerns, and if not you can always PM me.
