Too strict
About right
Too lenient
Don't know
The very limited response to the poll 28 (so far ) suggest over 70% are happy with things as they are
If you’re going to get –ve rep for initially posting a full post or as I did , not knowing how to attach a link to a web site that is kind of sad. Of course if you keep doing that’s different (this is regardless of how long you have been on the forum)
I don’t think the moderators should get involved in changing that, its not like –ve rep effects your mortgage payments or job , although I do not under estimate the impact some –ve rep can have on some people
In a nut shell I’d keep things as is
Hardly
Indeed despite sitting on a large spike, I +ve rep Swp for a very thoughtful post
Although I felt some posts OTT unlike the TRUTH they was nothing consistently nasty or vindictive (in my eye) which I assume is why her rep score is now at 60

Bad reputation. LOL
We are bad!!!!!
Honestly, I've never heard anyone talk about the 'bad reputation' of this forum, except one or two malcontents actually on the forum. I kinda think it's a bit of a 'lashing out', kinda a self-serving myth. I wouldn't take that claim seriously. A load of old tosh.
As to moderation, you can't please all the people all the time. It doesn't matter if the moderators are nazis, or liberal free-for-all hippies, or what rules/guidelines the moderators use, you will always get some people who will find something to complain about, it's in their genes.
As a forum admin since the days of 2400bpm modems, stuff 'em, but be polite is my advice
I actually think that says more about the person giving the neg rep than the person receiving it...
As for welcoming newbies - I can't remember now, but do they get any sort of welcome e-mail? If not, why not send them one, with a few words about forum ettiquette (such as not quoting posts in their entirety!) and maybe links to the forum rules and the FAQ. Maybe suggest that their first posting might be to introduce themselves on the appropriate thread (have forgotten what it's called) and a link to that.
If they chose not to take any notice of the e-mail, don't read the suggested links and don't bother to introduce themselves properly, then so be it. But at least you'll give those who are completely new to forums some basic guidance, whilst those who chose to wade in with what might be preceived as controversial comments or opinions can't say they've not been warned!
Hence the term "leper colony": Leper colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've withdrawn my vote that said 'About right', if there was an 'Inconsistent' option I would vote for that. It seems that it's OK for commercial entities nothing whatsoever to do with dance to SPAM the forums, but I'm not allowed to find out about local freestyles are on if the information is posted by a crew member
It's blatant inconsistencies which irritate people
