RateItAll is Moderated Just Right 3

My friends give me a hard time because I'm a little psycho about respect for personal choice.  My personal mantra is "don't be a victim."  If you don't like something, fix it, or get the hell away from it.  If you think this is a good site, I think you should stay.  If you think that this site is lame, I think you should go.  Personally, I think RateItAll bends way beyond the norm to give power to its members.  If there are other sites that share revenue, that allow you to delete all your stuff whenever you want, and that give you everyday access to the founder, I'm not aware of them.  RIA is pretty radical that way - don't believe me?  Try deleting your reviews from Amazon or Yahoo Answers or Epinions or your favorite forum, or try asking for a share of your ad revenue.  

Anyway, I say what I mean, and I mean what I say.  If you're not comfortable with the site's rules or how they're administered, I would encourage you to contact the admin and tell him why.  If you don't like the answer, and it's serious enough that it's causing you stress, you should probably split.  There's no reason to stress yourself out about a website.

If enough people feel like the site sucks, it will die.  And that's the way it should be.  All hail the free market.  However.  I personally think that this is a special site, with special people, and that we've carved out a unique little corner of the web.

But enough drama.  Everybody does what they have to do.  As long as you're not screwing with anybody else, more power to you.

No objections to RIA whatsoever from a personal stanpoint. Feel privileged to have been part of a very special site, both from its particular characteristics as when compared to most others. Am perplexed, though, in that Administrator would find that the reservations from valued contributors cannot be satisfied fairly and that RIA would be unpersuasive in getting them to remain. Infractors of RIA rules would not merit such consideration. Am not convinced that longtime and highly regarded members who have departed recently fall into this category or may have had unreasonable concerns.
