Wonder who became a mod in 2006?

The posted guidelines which cover insults were written in 2004, so two years is hardly no warning...
Did the mods start tightening up on some things over time, yeah probably. Things change over time.
9 years ago when it was a small group, it was easier to let things get a little offside and not have a big problem, because the people involved were (sometimes) mature enough to go at it, but also know when to let it drop and know when to move on.
With so many more people now, many people do not have that ability and will take an argument across threads, across time, stalk their opponent, etc.. so it becomes more difficult to let one person do something while not letting another person do the same thing (because they don't know when to quit).
Things change over time, that's how it goes.
Bingo posted recently that we'd probably gone too far down that path so we're trying to allow more confrontation and emotion, as long as its focused on the discussion and not directed at the person.
