Officer-Cartmanesque abuse of mod authoritah.

Over-moderation has perhaps resulted in some casualties of quality commenters such as TheQStrategy and RoofTopTendies.

Yeah, that is a good description of what happened to my original GAW account, for example. In response to the last ban, I simply switched over to TS and X and did not look back (it was nothing to do with a weird topic - it was literally for disagreeing with a mod's post).

I recently started this new GAW account, but it is a distant 3rd place... which is the opposite of how it was before I was driven to look elsewhere.

Driving people away with the "Officer Cartman" mod bullshit creates a downward spiral of less content, giving people less of a reason to bother checking GAW... the mods might want to learn from those mistakes and not repeat them going forward.

Whatever. It does not matter that much anymore, to be honest. X and TS are both pretty good.
