That, and posts being deleted. So the forum community does not encourage original thoughts, and rarely ever has.
Associating deleted posts to the idea the forum doesn't encourage original thoughts is a prime example of the group thought on the forums. Posts are deleted for TOS reasons, not because there's a conspiracy to stifle creative thinking. Come on man!
Lol, I've had posts deleted that were no where close to TOS, and I've posted some very borderline stuff previously. One was simply, "lol, I see what you did there". So, your idea that moderation is applied strictly according to rule, is somewhat false. While it may be most of the time, you can't account for those actions that occur outside of what you expect. Unless you are a current mod, or have experienced it directly, your counter-argument has no grounds. That would be like saying police officers NEVER act outside of the law, and we all know how ignorant of an idea that is, as they are human and are subject to devious behavior like everyone else.
Funny, because you are finding yourself falling into the "group thought" of the devs/mods being infallible. Such hypocrisy...
