"When the board stops abiding by the rules then all bets are off."
Who are you to determine if the "rules" as you INTERPRET them are being broken?
You've just given us a wonderous example of one of the major problems in American society today -- Sense of Entitlement.
Hint for you, just because you're sucking oxygen doesn't mean that anyone, least of all the owners/moderators of an internet posting board whose services you receive for free, owes you anything.
It's an amazing show of hubris on your part to even dream that they do.
For God's sake, be a man, not a purling, whining little bitch. If you don't like how a board is being run, don't try to claim some right to ownership over it.
Either take your problems to the owner of the board or his designated representatives, leave that board and find one that is more nurturing to your badly overdeveloped sense of entitlement, or found your own board when you can make, and interpret, your rules as you see fit.
Just stop being a punk-ass little wimp crybaby because not everyone sees fit to cater to your every whim.
