Twiglet Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I don't think SF is more strict than it used to be. What I suspect has happened is that over the years SF has developed a regulatory culture which is well understood by most users, so that the latter, consciously or not, impose upon themselves a form of self-regulation, in that they know what is likely to be acceptable on SF and what is not. The ones who do not or cannot accept this culture move on or are banned. I think this is very true. This thread is a prime example. It has run to 150 posts and I can tell you that there hasn't been a single deletion along the way, so well done to everyone (so far!) for remaining rational, putting your points across in a constructive way, and allowing what I hope is a progressive dialogue.

Where does it say about insulting people and making rude comments and harassment etc. which is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, confidential, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable I think that pretty much covers it.
