Bolingbroke, may I recommend the playmo-free zone. There are often interesting discussions there about a variety of subjects, though always within forum guidelines, so as to keep the forum kid-friendly. However, this basically is a forum about playmobil, so it's natural and right that most discussions will center on, well, playmobil.
As to the mod team being over-vigilant, I can assure you we try very hard to strike a balance between being "the police" or letting issues go so long that things escalate to the point of members leaving over hurt feelings. However, sometimes there are things that happen behind the scenes, maybe PMed complaints, arguments between members, other issues that aren't publicly known that we are dealing with that may be factors in our decisions we make. Or sometimes these other issues are simply distracting us. It seems all will be quiet for weeks at a time, with nothing needing our attention, and then one day, five or six problems will come up all at once, leaving us all overwhelmed and stressed, as most of us are trying to handle these things while at the same time tending our real-life responsibilities. So if we seem to have been harsh or short in a decision, please try to cut us a little slack. We are only trying to protect the peace of the forum. You may not realize how badly some members need this forum to be a happy place they can turn to. Some are fighting different issues in their private lives, and really need to be able to come here and relax.
