- This is a privately run forum, and technically isn't subject to any rules except those instituted by its admin/owner.
- There are a few legit wackjobs on here imo, but 90% or more of this stuff you're talking about is entirely in jest. It's just among people who don't hold certain topics taboo, and can make/take jokes without getting their knickers in a twist.
- You're missing the biggest issue in terms of policing this stuff. Raz abandoned the forums years ago. Some mods have been doing this for over a decade. Literally none of them/us want to be picking up the trash anymore when he did nothing to support us, despite numerous promises to do so in the form of forum updates, new mods/admins, and others. Any modding that still takes place is because they're here out of habit and actually still care about KMC, despite everything. Those still attempting to keep some order get trolled, spammed in their PMs by socks, etc., and apparently get sh*t on by posters like you who think they should be doing more. When in reality, most forums aren't visited by mods anymore bc there's about three that are active, and we all should have been rolled out for more active moderation years ago. But no admin, no new mods. So guys that started it in college now have two kids and a mortgage, and are still being asked to babysit political spam and curse words every day for no pay. Good times, lemme tell ya. no one owes anything to this forum anymore. It's become a lonely back alley of the internet. It might be sad, but I'm not saying that to be mean. It's just the reality of a place that's been neglected by its owner for too long to remain relevant. Once the 2-3 active mods decide they're done too (Ush hung it up recently, for example), it will only be worse.
- I'm sincerely happy that you have good friends on this site. So do I. And for what it's worth, I agree with your assessment about a lot of the bile that's on the forums. I've felt like you do before.
- There's an easy solution to this: ignore it. If there's still good stuff for you on KMC, do that and not the other stuff. And if there isn't, leave. Simple as that.
We dont have ab active global?
