Let me first qualify my statement by saying it is only my opinion, and opinions are like rearends. Everybody has one.
Although I haven't been with AZ for very long, I have noticed a striking similarity to other forums I have participated in, namely a presence of the all seeing moderators, and their quest for political correctness, as well as the sometimes inane drivvel that comes through as threads.
For instance. A couple of days ago a post came in that said (I paraphrase here) 'Hi, I'm so-and-so from the highlands of lower Dorksburg, and I can't wait to begin discussing something I feel so genuinely passionate about.'
Good grief. This forum is about POOL. You know, billiards, snooker, that sort of thing. Games that were played in basement rooms so full of smoke you could'nt see the back door; which was something you might need if you pressed too hard on a hustle and had to exit through.
As for the moderators, I'm sure they have a tough job. And I know that rules are rules, but oftimes I feel they take political correctness to far. Along with that, I believe the Karma or reputation (little green boxes) aspect is completely without merit.
I'm certain I have ruffled some feathers with my above remarks, and I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds, but more could undoubtably be said on these subjects. Anyone else want to jump in?
