As a comedian was once heard to say: "I resemble that remark!"
Moderators are people, too.
The only time that I've witnessed moderators getting "involved"; and, locking threads or deleting material....was when it was patently offensive.
Otherwise, just about anything goes.
Sounds like you would like to see this site become an AOL chatroom.
Not likely to happen in this lifetime with the Minnesota mom at the helm.
I've been on the site for nearly 5 years. Met some wonderful people. Learned a ton about amateur baseball and the recruiting process. Learned a ton about showcases and how to properly play the game.
Simply...Best baseball site, all things considered, on the Web.
