I've been reading through things, and this is just a side comment I want to make because we are seeing an influx of new membership. First I'll say we're happy to see all the new faces, we're happy you're here, and we're hoping for bigger and better conversation.
With that said, make no mistake that "quantity" increasing over at Jedi Defender isn't going to require a decline in quality either. We have our rules established here, and we're (dare I say) even more strict than Rebelscum... at least in some instances anyway.
A topic discussing an issue like this goes smoothly, but we've had our share of "trolls" too, and that's something Rebelscum rarely ever touches but which Jedi Defender will act swiftly to handle. You can ask the people that are on our "banned" list how swiftly we act to behavior we deem inappropriate... Condescending attitudes, name-calling, and the like has earned more than one person a swift kick in the ass out our front door, not a doubt about that.
I know I came to Jedi Defender because my friends had come here, but also because i wanted to ESCAPE the post-padding, "kiddies", arrogant, rude, and condescending people who were allowed to basically walk on other members over at Scum, or run the show over there... So needless to say, we run a tight ship here on some level as well, and definitely are more strict in our own ways.
So did we lock this thread once? Yes, but it's not "close-minded" as Matt mentioned, but rather it's our way of saying "move along"... The topic had new reason to be re-opened, but if things die down again and we feel it's time for people to move onto new discussion and forget about what's in the past, then it'll get another lock... You can't dwell on the past forever, basically.
I do hope everyone enjoys their stay here, enjoys the format, enjoys each other's company, and most of all has as much fun as they possibly can in a completely different setting.
