threads like that are nightmares for adt-you know the mods aren't a unified front on every decision and sometimes learn about it after shit's started. the rest of the board grinds to a halt after the regulars rush to it and then there's the problem of justifying the censorship and exclusionary actions which steph and drew have never had a good answer for and solve by locking things down and making some comment about maturity or how "this isn't going anywhere".

in this case, i'm suprised it made it past a page---steph castrated the mods and most of them had to sit there and defend something they didn't do under a seige of valid complaints. the outcome was decided from the top and it was just going to attract more and more attention towards the fact that they fucked up and killed the platinum goose in driving away one of their big-name industry regulars. mason's less-regular, kami and mellissa are accepted more places that mastercard, tom byron's gone, kimi lixx is retired and never had name-recognition----it's lean times for their industry-insider quota which is obvious when they're throwing up stars that have as many posts as the average simp-account makes before it's banned.
