I can't in good conscience allow you to ridicule other members, but I can and do allow you to ridicule me, as long as you don't overstep other major guidelines (porn, bigotry, criminality, etc.).
You're right that I took no joy in locking your other thread -- it was what any responsible mod would have done, given the fact that the object of your ridicule there did not consent to it. But in this case, the object of your ridicule does consent, so by all means carry on...

So lampooning a caricature is suddenly requiring consent?
lol

It's very easy to notify the public that "person X is a troll; therefore, ignore him" (e.g. Symmetry). It's not like the community can't handle such issues.
Sure, there's the loud minority which throws out their reports (that definitely kill the forum in the long-run), but the chronic complainers really should be ignored. Of course, CC will ignore this advice and continue on its path of diminishing the value of this subforum, so whatever.

I miss the CC that I used to know. Anyone else note that the peak of CC membership and the demise of flamewars occurred at the same time. FUCKING coincidence? Not that you would get any bestial paedo necro felcher with decision making authority on this site to even consider this point.

Actually, the bestial paedo necro felchers with decision making authority considered the point at great length. When the new owner took over one of his first proposals was to abolish all the rules. It was a major topic of discussion, and in the end cooler heads prevailed and the rules were preserved.
You're a restauranteur now, are you not? If some drunken boor walked into your restaurant and started loudly abusing your patrons, you would show him to the door. Don't even try lying and saying you wouldn't. No business could long survive allowing patrons to be abused and insulted while attempting to enjoy its fare. Preserving a minimum standard of decorum is the first prerequisite in creating a space that people want to remain in.

In the CC world, it's easy to enjoy one's meal while remaining in the restaurant because the user can ignore the forum while continue playing the game.
In my opinion, the cracking down on flame wars was largely due to moderators and most likely head admin getting tired of receiving numerous complaints of bullying. Since the 'victims' can easily pass on the costs of punishment to the higher-ups, they would be less likely to 'foe and move on'. The admin believed it was doing the right thing, the victims encouraged them on, and the long-run consequences were the destruction of a forum.
The problem is that the long-run consequences aren't felt by each individual complainer, so it's easy to dodge the costs of the Great Decline while rent-seeking for concentrated benefits. Admins and mods who were generally well-intended obliged them and seemingly contributed to the root cause of decay in the fora.
