So is your assumption that those ‘regular friendly, non bitchy respectful members’ who are no longer here made their decisions to leave because they preferred to go somewhere ‘alive and brimming, albeit with absolutely useless crap, and when something good actually gets posted it gets weighed down and hidden by all the other shit posts about it’ simply because a lack of moderation allows it?

Doesn’t add up to me............ maybe there is some attraction to having to wade through crap & to find something worth reading. Seems to me the argument is ‘crap is acceptable because it gives the freedom to post more crap’! Not for this little black duck.

I can think of a few no longer here, but who left because of rare forays into crap here & whom I’m sure won’t now be hanging out in places where the crap is rife.
