I have been an active member of another forum, the one with the halo around the icon of the brand, for 12 years now.Recently I ran into, what I consider to be arbitrary, heavy handed, and confusing moderation there.If the post agrees with the personal views of the moderator, it stands.If not it is quickly removed.
As a result, the “discussion” that makes the forum, by definition, a forum, is declining rapidly.
I just wonder are there many folks here that have experienced the same and no longer support that site?
Please do not mis-interpret this post. I am not trying to bash them, but rather have a basic disagreement with the management of the site, and that is O.K. I am looking for input in order to make a decision.
While we are on the subject: This is a great site and very well moderated.Thanks for a good job.

No reason to worry about it - - it is perfectly permissible to read and comment on more than one site. Lots of us do just that and sometimes may go long periods of time without commenting on a site because the things talked about didn't interest them/personalities and disagreements lead to reading & not making posts. Interests change, folks move on.
