Yes.
Sounds to me like Mods really control the board. They categorized sources, so if they like you or get enough incentive then the source gets an approval stamp. They keep PMs from happening so they can stay in control. It may be a little more open style in the threads but mods get the say so overall.
Now I don’t venture out of Meso too often. I’m just going by what it sounds like to me. There’s so much here to try and keep up on I don’t have the time to go elsewhere lol. Besides other members here do visit other boards and the ones I respect I just take their word for how shit is on those boards.
Meso is unmoderated. PMs are aloud and left up to the members to report shady shit when it goes down. Millard lets the members decide how things go here. Yes there is rules here but overall the members run the forum.
In a way I’m just comparing Meso’s way with other boards ways of doing things. Im not gonna say one is better than another. I will say I don’t feel the need to participate on any other boards because this one fits me better than the rest.
I’m genuinely curious on your view of SST and I’m not trying to come off dickish or anything like that.
