He has nothing on me.

It's a good board, in my opinion.

Mach only gets out of control when Janice shows up. Or people there just to annoy.

It has 500 boardmarks. There's no way I'm letting a handful of troublemakers ruin it.

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.

This is the most blatant case of abuse by a moderator of any free board. The type of post you reposted just shoves it in anyone's face. They act and post like they are totally untouchable.

Yes, a virtual lynch mob. And unfortunately Matt's given them some rope.
