We have lots of fun here. The fun gets out of hand, the thread gets closed, and then we have more fun later on. Repeat. I don't see what the problem is. Most of the "fun" that ends with a locked thread was a thread locked way past-due.
Now if people started getting banned for all the locked fun we have, then that would be a problem. But as it is... I don't see why people have this "we can't have fun on chipmusic.org" mantra. A locked thread doesn't mean the end to the fun.
Maybe I am mistaking what I perceive as "fun" with cynicism and malice...? :\
The thing that makes cm.o less fun for me is when people make comments about how not-fun cm.o is. :\

I let stuff roll off. Just seen some people eaten alive on here...
some poor dude tries to sell a gameboy... if a person could get a black eye from the internet... he got a fat lip.
who would shop at a store that had a tsa agent doing body cavity searches at the door?
Yeah that was me.

What makes cm.o not fun sometimes is how people can take the trolling a little too far and just be flat out mean. If people wouldn't do that crap then cm.o would be fun for everyone.

Everyone dies, don't take life srs.
You weren't joking about death, you were using a not so kind term for homosexuals as part of a stupid joke thread about slugs for some moronic reason. Maybe you shouldn't say things that might make people feel unwelcome here, then you'd feel more welcome here yourself.

I like this community a lot. It's filled with knowledgeable individuals who make great content. I think the moderation is pretty great. It's true that sometimes that sometimes we can be a little harsh on new people, but it seems like new posters here just have a tendency to dive in without even trying to get a sense of how stuff works around here. I'd say that on average, something on cm.o makes me giggle in childlike wonder once or twice a week, whether it be someone being genuinely funny or from someone sharing some piece of information that I didn't know I needed. This place is pretty great. anyone who is seriously dissatisfied has unreasonable standards for internet communities.

i just make assholes feel unwelcome, so no
edit: also, you should realize the rules were strictly against use of that language and used it anyway. complaining that it got removed is as silly as taking a shower then being upset that you're wet

this is a (mostly) serious website, might help to remember that.. if its not for you, no one is stopping you from making your own website where you can drop as much hate speech as you want

I am mostly serious about hardware. It was not hate speech. seriously. Did Alex jones read that thread or something?
