Jason, Xcritic deletes spam and bans spammers. ADT deletes and bans just about anyone crossing their invisible line of conduct, and have for years, to prop up a favored few and promote business (protecting performers against anything that might hurt their feelings). XPT generally only bans the lamest of idiots or draw a hard line when a topic goes out of control about some asshat in the industry no one cares about anyway (Lockwood, Long, etc.).

As a long time fan of XPT myself, having promoted it far and wide on Xcritic in fact, you'll get no argument that the XPT forum is more open to boorish conduct than most anywhere else. Yay XPT!
