I'm going to step out and defend the moderators of this site as they seem very reasonable with what isn't tolerated. Moderators get too many of the patronising little children who simply can't accept others opinions. Props to Trevor and Matt at AmigaKit. If you have a problem with how the site is run, go somewhere else, we won't miss you.
After many years in the Amiga community I have decided to leave the Amiga community permanently. If you have a question about SGI or Sun computers please PM me and I will return your contact as soon as I can.

I'm not saying that it should be one-way. Rather than providing unconstructive and baseless criticism, everyone should maintain a minimum of respect for the people in charge, and any criticism of how the site is run should be handled in a professional and nonconfrontational manner. Instead of using a "you" statement, use an "I" statement. Example with an actual criticism I have of people on here:

Unconstructive "you" statement:

"All you anti-POWER architecture users should stick to AROS if you want x86 AmigaOS and stop squeaking at the OS4 and MorphOS crowds!"

Constructive "I" statement:

"I disagree with those who deny the hard work of Hyperion and MorphOS developers to provide NG Amiga platforms by saying it should be on x86. Instead of directing how developers should spend their time and criticising design choices, they should offer their own skills as developers to the AROS project, which targets x86 development, or else contribute money to that project to better it."

Considering the fact that this patronising tone in the first example is practiced by many people on this forum, and that more time is spent arguing on things rather than offering anything constructive, Im surprised the banhammer isn't more widely used. Don't be a jerk, be constructive.

Considering I'm below the median age of Amiga users ( I'm in my mid-20s, and didn't know about it till around 2005 or so when I was still a teen ) and I generally act with a general politeness, I would expect people older than me to do the same. Yssing brings up a good point.
