Anyone here post over at "Television Without Pity"? I have a question.
Do you find their style of moderation to be somewhat... oh... fascist? Or is it just me.

I feel like I'm being moderated by the Soup Nazi over there. Makes me appreciate the moderating style over here. So much more free and easy.

3. I post there
I think the moderating there tends to be somewhat arbitrary in that it really depends on the mood of the moderator if you are going to get a smackdown or not.

5. That's what I'm finding too. It's unsettling.
You never know when the hammer will fall. Rather like waiting for the KGB to show up.

6. Oh, yeah.
It's okay in small doses, but it can get really irritating with the moderators popping in on every other post shrieking, "YOU FORGOT A COMMA! PROPER GRAMMAR, OR THE THREAD WILL BE CLOSED!"

7. Funny graphic
I do like the graphic they use when you forget your capitals. The one of a bunch of signs with the names of various state capitals and the legend "You could use some capitals".

8. Or they pipe in because the entire thread has gone off topic, and yet
I'm the one to get a warning.

I got warned because I talked about the opinions of another poster, another time because I posted exessively in a thread, and just now because I wandered off topic.

I just don't like being hovered over, is all.
