The Question and Answer Board

[greg s]

hasher,

MACH board, WAVX board, same deal. Matt does not have a set of rules against which he gauges any situation, allowing the rules to serve as his guide (normally known as TOU's).

Instead, he has a set of rules ("loosely" known as TOU's), which are referenced on the site. Occasionally, posters are actually held to said TOU's. But Matt doesn't bother using these TOU's to guide his own administrative decisions. Other factors (such as number of pro-posters versus number of those taking the other side, number of boardmarks, etc.) are weighed much more heavily than TOU's in Matt's decision-forming process.

I think the actual existence of TOU's coupled with Matt's seeming oblivion to using these TOU's in forming his own decisions is what has many panties in a wad.

Of course, Matt's wrong. Of course, it's Matt's site. That makes wrong right, I suppose.
