Just look at Lanny's worthlessly Liberal Rules. They are a disgrace:
Mission Statement
There is no mission statement. A lot of people have had a lot of ideas about what this community should be over the years, what should and shouldn't be allowed, what kind of culture should be fostered or shunned. I don't know if the world needs less censorship or a carefully cultivated attitude of intellectualism. But I do think there's real value, on a personal level if nowhere else, in having a place where you can speak your mind, or be angsty and outrageous, or call everyone a dumb cunt, and be judged on the content of your expression and nothing else. To that end, here are:
The Rules
1. No content which will get Lanny arrested. - I'm not a lawyer so I don't really know what that boils down to but we're going to play it by ear. When the cops show up at my door or I wake up with a C&D notice in my mail I'm going to be mad. When I see things which will obviously land me in jail (like child porn) I'll delete it and ban the poster.
2. No intentionally disrupting discussion. - This one is, admittedly, fuzzy. The site is here so people can have a place to talk about what they want to talk about. If you spam incoherent crap in a thread about something technical or specific then allowing that would just be defeating the point of the site. If you call someone a faggot for making a dumb thread, well that's probably alright. Listen, it's not a clear line when shitposting in good faith becomes intentional disruption but my pledge to you, gentle posters, is that I really don't care and will alway err on the site of not doing anything.
A note on the second rule, as it's become a point of rule lawyering: "erring on the side of not doing anything" is not the same as "will never do anything". Currently I (Lanny) am the only moderator in the site and can't read every thread. I'm not able to enforce this rule in every case because I simply won't see every case. If you feel a thread is being derailed you are encouraged to PM me or report the offending posts and I will moderate that thread more actively. This means the kind of posting that flies in one thread may not in another, or more minor off-topic posting that's acceptable earlier in a thread will not be acceptable later. I will always give a warning that a thread needs to be kept on topic before taking action, and I will try resolve threads going off topic as civily as possible. What I ask from posters is that they respect that not every thread will have the same level of moderation and that they help me in finding threads that are being derailed.

It appears, after professional analysis, that Lanny has No Rules for this site.

Concept: the loudest complainer is most often the major transgressor?
