All I'm asking for is some communication between yourselves and some consistency...Its hard to know whats okay to post and whats not...and where?

I think initially it was allowed because, quite frankly the site was just trying to get going, and it was new and there was alot of this and that back and forth to talk about. Eventually it evolved into troll fodder with HDDVD fanboys, and even a mod at the time turning this into a pseudo neutral site.
It caused backlash with people who were here for Blu-ray, and it became a chore to sift through it all, so it was changed. I think it was changed for good reason, and applaud the decision. IMHO, the staff here at Blu-ray.com do a good job of giving us what we want and evolving with the ever changing needs of the site. I spend plenty of time here at the site, almost too much, And I can't say that I see a whole heck of a lot of HDDVD talk, hell i actually feel a little guilty when i mention I own it, or a title is being discussed and I chime in. But because of the nature of importing, and such a lot of cross talk with USDM titles and Import Titles will come up. Comparisons between Hardware since there are some similarities will also arise. What I don't see much of, and think the mods do a great job of are the "I just got this movie on HDDVD" or "HDDVD is great" etc. type posts. Those if made, should be moved to off topic, and I think a quick report post will achieve the desired result. The mods are only human, and occassionally miss stuff. But one thing I can tell you is I know of atleast
one mod, who is online the better part of the day.
