This is mainly due to the increase in membership numbers. The larger the crowd. The more important it is to have it under control. The forums (Poser specifically) should have been locked down long ago. With a moderator who would ban people regardless of what the stupid T.O.S. says. The members aren't safe there anymore. Mainly because of two things: 1.) The site owners won't allow the mods. to boot people reguardless of what the T.O.S says. So members manipulate the T.O.S. to their advantage so they can stay and cause trouble. 2.) To properly patrol the forums. You have to be a full time employee. Mods are also responsible for patrolling the galleries too. You can't imagine how much time this takes to do correctly. But since Renderosity can't afford to pay someone full time to keep things under control. We end up with the wild wild west. ScottA
