Thanks.
This was a lot more mundane than I was expecting but still rather interesting nonetheless.
Doth my eyes deceive me? Did Dullahan actually write a post with a positive tone?
I'm surprised by how happy this makes me.
This is what makes the mods here morally and intellectually superior than the mods over at SpaceBattles. I seen some things over there, man. And some stuff. (You know, with a community as large as theirs, I'd expect them to be more careful, but nope. They didn't so much go mad with power so much as it somehow sharply lowered their IQs.

I thought SB mods were supposed to be amazing. That’s what I was told.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
So what else have I missed or forgotten other than Gen News getting Ars Nova'd? The highlights/lowlights?
Gen News has never had a highlight since it's inception, accept this as truth in your heart

Because the full context of the quote which you elided makes its point pretty clear even to one without a passing familiarity with SB community guidelines.
I mean to be fair I wouldn't call modding on this site too great either because we mostly try to keep it as minimal as possible, which requires the community to be mature enough to match.
one would have to ask themselves, in regards to community maturity, why SB has like 3 tiers of mods counsels and 2 spinoff sites made over mod disagreements

Yeah, but the mods themselves act like children, and don't seem to hesitate given an opportunity to use their power. Even if its over something as insignificant as a difference of personal opinions.
Unlike on SB, here I can prove Seika wrong about a subject, and not get immediately permabanned out of revenge. This has apparently happened to more than one person I know.
Of course, this assumes that I could prove anyone wrong about anything, which is a stretch.

Maybe it's the fact that this forum is based around a bunch of porn games, with a heaping helping of disturbing backstories. It means that the people here have higher base tolerance for stuff, unlike SB where porn is explicitly off limits, and things like Kohaku/Sakura's backstories or the Fuyuki Fire would get a thread locked for inappropriate content.

To be fair I've not been too fond of the laxness here at times.
Add on that SB has been around since 1996 and has gone through quite a bit of new faces coming in, turnover and begun to accept some standards, and it's not hard to see why comparing it to BL is a dull exercise.

Considering we can discuss such things in a TM general thread on SB, this is incorrect (though FGO stuff tends to drown out the discussions). Writing such things in fanfics just for the sake of titillation or espousing views similar to LLL is actual banworthy stuff.
