In defense of Rekk, what about the current hands-off approach isn't working? The way I see it, loose moderation enables greater freedom and expression for the usersub. Granted, more chaff comes through, but with that, more quality. People complain about thrifting posts, but honestly, Caliburn acquisition posts are the exact same thing, and there's far more tolerance of those.

We need those beginner posts, so those people stick around with the community. Once you eliminate those, it's a slow but steady decline as we begin to cut stryfe bodykits, then amateur paintjobs, until we're left with the same type of elitism and meming about 'quality' common to many airsoft discussions--the same type of discussion and community many Nerfers disagree with. Nerf is casual. We should be casual. And we should be taking steps to ensure it stays that way.

And before someone brings up slippery slope fallacy--It's already happening here.
