There's no reward for being a good poster and no punishment for being a bad one, how do you think that's gonna work out?

I started online political commentary on Usenet where there are zero rules so you can say quite literally anything and I know how to give at least as good as I get in that environment but it's boring after a while, there are only so many ways to tell someone to go fornicate themselves athwart ship with an oxidized agricultural implement.
