It may have cut the number of total discussions, but your personal judgement
of "quality" can hardly be considered a "truth".
One nice thing about RTL is that it's full functionality is completely free
to anyone, it is not privately owned, and it has no legally binding "Terms
of Use".
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/agreement
"we must reserve the right to allow or to refuse access to this site to
anyone, for any reason, with or without prior warning or explanation."
So in other words, if you don't break any of the Lugnet rules, you can still
be kicked out of the community forever, for any reason, without warning or
explanation... and best of all, you agree.
Personally, I think you should have to do something wrong before you're
punished - and someone should explain why (in case there was a mistake).
Clearly though, with statements like the above, Justice is not the goal...
