The page count shows that there's been plenty of posts about discussing whether this place is strict or not. If there's so many people saying "yes it's strict", then comments like "It's not being strict, it's called doing their job" are a little redundant.
They are, in fact, perhaps redundant, but this is a subject we want to let people freely express themselves on, and it is important for us to get this feedback. Honestly, I am generally happy with the reactions we have gotten in this thread, so perhaps you should read all the posts before writing things like that.

It hardly seems important if people expressing their thoughts in a constructive manner, like Ryuutarou did, pretty much get told that their opinion is worthless. I don't think he should have got warned for welcoming someone, that is incredibly strict. Maybe a moderator notice if it's really that much of a heinous crime, but a 10% permanent warning? And instead of listening to his justification and acknowledging that warning him was a mistake, it's 'oh well it's no big deal cos you need ten of those so yeah let's just forget about it'.
Telling someone that something totally unreasonable, like a heavy-handed warning, is not up for debate because they're not a staff member is telling this entire community that their opinions don't mean squat because their name isn't highlighted in blue.
