I completely agree with fibbi's comment.  

The admin can do anything he wants, if some members don't like the rules, then they can leave.  He can be biased, unfair, unreasonable, etc but I see no problem in that at all since it is his forum.

I don't see any problems with how the admin runs LYK since it is reasonable and fair in my point of view.  If anyone thinks they can run a forum better and have some extra time, then he or she can start a new forum.

My guess is that Admin will love to see his site to be loved and with traffic. It's not the ad or whatever, but how would someone not like to see his/her creation be warmly welcomed and recognized by other people? On the other hand, admin has his own set of believes, he likes to see his forum be PG13. Of course, he paid for bandwidth and he upkeep the maintenance, he gets to do whatever he wants.

On the other hand, as a visitor, many people want a forum to endorse freedom of speech, as that is part of the reason why visitors actually visits generic forums like LYK (as opposed to more subject specific forums, like cellfone/cars/or even professional/academic discussions). Lots of things they can't say out loud in real life, so the rather consult in forums, vent or whine in forums instead. Some just want to come up and see that things are easy going, loosly controlled and hilariously funny.

So the current situation in LYK currently is comprehensible. A lot of voices wants freedom of speech, these people wants a place where primarily Vancouver hongers can just chill n relax and BS a bit. While some just want LYK to be primarily for informative purposes only. The admin want the forum to be catered for the latter crowd, which is absolutely fine. But it also means that the former group of people will be disappointed, and might ultimately become CD-ROMs or just leave. In which case, admin will also not get the traffic or endorsement that he probably also wants.

In the end, this is just conflicts of interests within admin himself, and also conflict of interest between 1 group of audience and another group of audience. Not saying I agree with what the admin is doing, but as this is his forum, he gets to decide whatever he wants his forum to be 1 way or another. Complaints are rather useless, as many people are right, this place IS indeed dictatorship, because admin is the only person who paid for the upkeeping and the bandwidth, he has the right to keep this place as dictatorship.

Perhaps if people are unhappy enough, they can go start a VanHKGolden or something, I'll be happy to join~ Until then, we can only live with LYK however admin wants it to be.

Back to my 99% read, 1% write mode.

If that's what the admin wants, and he is the one paying for the site. Nothing much we can do about this. He has no responsibility to the audience. Theoretically he can ban whoever he doesn't like, or even close down LYK tomorrow if he wants. It's not like he is the Prime Minister and we are paying tax for him to be around. He is volunteering his time and his money to keep LYK going (I highly doubt the LYK ads is making this site profitable for him).

Don't get me wrong chunsh, I always like ur posts and also lancer's posts. Most of them are just reflecting reality with a dose of sarcasm. I guess some people don't like to be reminded of the reality in a supposingly peaceful virtual society.

我都學識左打小報告了~~
以後我一見到D疑似粗口既我都會立即報告All Mighty Admin!!

I am not an active member of LYK, but i just want to leave my comments..

I do wish LYK stays clean and respect community for ppl at all ages in vancouver.
Maybe there is no problem for swearing or slangs, but i agree with admin. he has his rules and control of this forum. If you want ppl to respect you, you better respect other first.

ie: you won't smoke in a non-smoking restaurant.
you won't break the rules of your company. otherwise, you get fired. it is common sense.
If ppl don't like it, they can just leave with their mouths shut. why do they need to say so much bad things about it? u break the rule, you deserve a penalty.

I initially thought this is a forum for information, academic, sharing.

I support admin!!!! don't worry, you are trying to protect us, the peaceful ones~
