Fair enough. I believe you.

You want to know why things get deleted and banned? Other people flag it. That's what gets it in front of staff. Maybe there are lots of people who like her or maybe there are people who don't like others and flag all the *****
This is one thing that was supposed to be looked at when the new flagging system went in. Whether groups of people were targeting certain folks. I don't think that is being watched very closely.

The part about the real estate in 3rd coast's and gigem02's head was condescending. The rest was not.
How about I ban myself from a board that I hardly post on?

To the woods I guess. He hasn't been around here.
I still want his rifle.

Sure people fall off for a variety of reasons. But there are damn few old ags still actively posting here. Hell I was wet behind the ears when I started posting here and now I'm the old one.
Go back and look at any thread from 10 years ago. Or 5.

IIRC, you don't even own an AR, correct?
If so, youre about as qualified and knowledgeable on the subject as i am about fly rods.
Only difference is you'll never see me try to give an opinion on something I'm ignorant as hell about.

No, moderators are assigned forums. Now, some moderators CAN moderate any forum but they are more senior mods.

I don't think any of those posters are banned and at least half have never been moderated even once. Are you saying they stopped posting here due to moderation? I'm honestly curious.
No and I don't think I singled out moderation as the sole driving factor. But this board went from essentially unmoderated to heavily moderated in a period of less than 5 years.
Everyone agrees there has been a change in culture. Everyone agrees the board is less "itself". Everyone agrees it's a negative change.
I know the level of moderation has changed. I know the character of campus has changed. I know we are all getting older.
I don't have answers. I'm just yelling at clouds and missing my friends.
I'm too old and crotchety to make new ones.
This used to be a place where I could call schmeball an SOB and he'd call me a hillbilly ******* and we'd raise our beers at each other across the campfire in mutual respect and the knowledge that we understood each other.
Random poster could come here with a dumb situation they caused and be called out for it (even impolitely).
It really felt like an e-campfire or the back room of a fly shop where the talk was crusty. Real. Not always SFW, but not obscene, either.
It was an adult place. It was the hardware store full of old men and my grandpa when I was 10. I might hear something a little old for my ears but I was among men learning to be a man.
It doesn't feel like that anymore.
This is all very esoteric but I'm trying to convey that this place WAS special. And is now less so. For whatever reason.

That's how I felt about the Facebook group, and then you banned me from it.
