I agree Robert T.
But the problem is this site apeals to a different demographic than normal online forum. The people in astronomy communities can be a lot older and sometimes less computer literate (I'm not being nasty, it's just 99% of forums are for teenages or IT people).
A lot of people here are in their first forum, which also applies to moderators who have only known life within iceinspace. Heavy handedness and blant disregard for forum tiltes and posting guidelines leads to the stuff that is happening now.
I realise there is no moderator training coarses but you have to at least allow some humour that is logical. All other forums allow this full stop.
Astrogeek went over board and was deal with. But he went over board because other people got trigger happy. Why can't we be tolerant. ESPECIALLY if the title of a thread indicates that it is only for fun. Spam is something that is unwanted. There is no such thing as spamming a spam thread.
If the rating on a movie indicates that you might be offened and you still watch it. It's you that made that choice, no one else.
