*Quote - "I think what Anton is trying to draw attention to, is that there appears to be different "degrees of freedom" for posting and discussion, between creators and non-creators of content."

*I think a big part of the inconsistencies is a result of the variableness over the last years when the  mods and admins cracked down hard, then lightened up a bit, back and forth.

If you hold a handfull of sand to tightly you end up with a empty hand.

Untill the forum/site rules are in benifit of members and not designed as forum/site/MP  behavior controls this oscollation will continue. Spike started this pattern of conservative leanings that years latter wont be stabalized untill a new cycle of admins (not drawen from the existing stock) takes over the site. This is NOT an attact of the existing admins and mods. It's just that THEY were selected under the 'Spike' doctrine.
