Things I've noticed...
-No admin board. Problems are supposed to be dealt with via PM (babblemail equivalent)
-You aren't allowed to discuss / post PM's (hence admin issues) on the boards
-Threads will get locked so that nobody can post to them if they are escalating
-Threads will get deleted if viewed as unsupportive
-Decisions are made by a board of moderators
-Unasterisked swearing seems to be ok
-The boards seem to be more focused on support and sometimes educational stuff (such as discussing the existence of DID) is considered unsupportive (and is therefore deleted)There are other things...
Those are just the main differences that I've noticed.I think... And this is just my personal opinion but I think... That you require more of posters with respect to them coming to understand the civility rules and being able to abide by them. With the blocks as a consequence. Over there there don't really seem to be consequences as such, rather your posts just get vanished. That being said I think that if people persistently attack or post offensive posts then their account gets deleted.
You could go have a look you know ;-)
Doc John has been over here...
