There are multiple reasons why this forums have degradded so much from years ago. One of the reason's is Stephane's...grip on them. He takes more notice of them now and has things like the swear filter and such in place. Another problem is the lack of compotent moderators. This is not to say that all moderators are bad; just some. The way it seems now a days moderators seem to generally come to power by these following factors: how can kiss the most ass, and who has the bigger fanclub.

The lack of clear leadership is another problem. The super mods are allowed to kinda..roam and do whatever they wish to. There really is no more check for them, as no one is there to say "do this and you lose the job." This is what has lead to the closing and deletion of threads that those in power do not like/agree with/want public.

It is a proven fact though on Graal that threads and such no longer recieve any results, and probably in the end will be closed or deleted.
