Julia and I joined within a few days/weeks of each other, about the same time as Fantastic Floyd too, and she was a great poster to start with, was away for extended periods and then when she she appeared to return for good, other members that had joined a fair while after her rip her apart as if she was some wierd newbie.
I have been moaning about the lack of quality for about a year now and I know I must be starting to sound like a stuck record at times, but my main point here was about people over the last few months having no regard for rules and almost wanting to be banned. From myself joining to probably about June/July, very few members were warned with boxes. They either kept their noses fairly clean, or did something so bad they were instantly banned. Now we are seeing new boxes appear on a daily basis and a lot of the time the blame is put on moderators, and one or two of them in particular. What i want to see is a return to this being a message board rather than somewhere to have a 89 page chat, insult someone you don't like and then get banned, only for others to then try and get banned out of sympathy/because they saw how popular the member who got banned became after they were banned and hope for that same level of interest if they got banned too.
Even if we start off with discussion of a relatively low level, I just want people to step back, calm down and treat each other with the respect they expect themselves.
