Disclaimer: I do NOT hate mods in general, I just hate mods who heavily censor and give users a hard time over trivial issues on any forum. I have total respect for mods who have to consistently deal with users who are legitimately abusing the forum and causing problems with other users, because that's not fun, but it's part of their job. Also, the first paragraph isn't intended to be a rant.
I recently joined after a falling out with the mods on the official Mint forum, and I'd like to know how this forum is compared to that one. While I'm a rough-around-the-edges kind of person (because I'm a rebel, and have High-Functioning Autism (and no, I'm not blaming my disability for my behavior)), they didn't kick me off. Instead, I quit using their forum because I got fed up with them acting somewhat like the Ministry of Truth. Thankfully, I got the help from other users when I needed it, but then there were times where the mods kept censoring me or a number my posts because I flaunted some frivolous rule they came up (one of the mods admitted what was said in them wasn't bad per se). I'll admit I chose to use their forum despite the issues I had, but that doesn't mean that the mods should make everything said on there as politically-correct as possible. I should also mention that I'm known for my sarcastic sense of humor, and mentioning uncomfortable truths when the situation calls for it, but that doesn't mean I'm intentionally trying to be offensive to people, especially if the person is thin-skinned. While I occasionally slip up, I do try to abide by the mantra of "its not so much what you say, its how you say it".
While no one should be causing legitimate problems on here (whether intentional or not), hopefully the mods are laid back enough to let users freely speak their minds while having to intervene only when necessary. To any mods reading this, I'm interested in your experiences on this forum, and learning more about you so we can have an appropriate relationship. To any users reading this, tell me about your experiences while abiding by the mantra mentioned above (I don't want you to say accidentally something that could cause a problem and potentially get you kicked off of here).
