To me this only illustrates your point about him not listening to or reacting on criticism.

Lark's point of people stopping reviewing because of the more strict rules is (mostly) correct, at least for me, but I think this is unrelated to Cooba. If I recall correctly the policy was at least as strict when Violet and Trafton were the main downloads/reviews moderators. There are J2O rules, which say that your review has to be detailed et cetera, and the J2O admins/moderators to enforce these. It's wrong to blame a specific member of the staff for these side-wide rules.

As for censorship rules, you probably know my opinion on that, but again, these are site rules. Being a JCF administrator myself I can assure you that it's not always easy to distinguish a tongue-in-cheeck remark (for example) from a personal attack. I do agree that Cooba - in my view, which may or may not be distorted - goes a little too far in his moderation, as illustrated by some edits in picture comments I got contacted about by FireSworD (who should still have both the original text and edited text somewhere, so he can illustrate these matters).
