RE: In response to Barry's locked thread...
An explanation of the discrepancy would seem to be a good idea, rather than just supplying a non-answer that simply stokes any discontent that is forming.
Sometimes there is going to be inconsistency because of the fact that the mod's each see things just a little differently ; sometimes there's another reason ; I recall when I was doing mod duty here that the 4 jet mod's knew that the members here like some full scale jet discussions and that as long as the RC content vastly outnumbered the full-scale jet stuff we tried our best to let that slide ... and just when some of the members started saying thank-you for us not being anal about the full-scale stuff we get a reminder from Marc that full-scale discussions were not allowed in the RC forums and that we needed to crack down on any such posts.
When we did crack down as requested from above, we then got complaints about us being inconsistent, and all sorts of wonderful consipracy theories posted about "full scale discussions are only allowed if the originator is a buddy of the mod", and other such nonsense. So, sometimes inconsistency may come about because the mod's are trying hard NOT to be anal (arguably they SHOULD !?) ... but even if that happens, I think an explanation of it can be very helpful in defusing resentment.
YMMV, which is fine,
