blf is a harsh community because badspot doesn't baby us, not because it should be
We're harsh because we pretty much have 1.2 admins moderating (the .2 is Rotondo [Yes, that means everyone], who hasn't banned a lot of people recently)
But we aren't harsh because badspot isn't babysitting us, that's just stupid as a thought. I'd say what
really makes people harsh around here is exposure to the Drama subforum. While it is a good way to warn people about things/people that suck and a great chance to expose a problem user it
can and
will make you lose temper the more you are involved in drama.
As to some people it isn't obvious, BLF was not meant to be all harsh to things and paranoid about new users who make intro threads. The culprits are the former situation described and other problem users who are Lawful Evil or JUST on the border of Lawful Evil-Neutral Evil spreading their... effect on the community. Also the relatively little administration.
