I guess as long as the users are happy and have what they want then the mods and admins should be happy too...
But on the other hand we always hear the same few members, so it's hard to know if the current policy of the forums (let anything happen) pleases really everyone on this board.
Personally I'm not sure I'm happy to have this kind of "discussion" allowed on the forums
