at all mods:

why do golem and aggron get so much crap from users and admins when golem and aggron are trying so hard to fit in and be accepted? is it the lack of hair? because golem and aggron can totally wear wigs if that will help them fit in!

A lot of the people that are members of this community are overly serious and void of most humor. They are very fixed on presentation (notice all of the people on the site who preach that grammar is the most important thing in the world) and want to, in a way, sell themselves. If they are laughing and finding something funny that they think could be breaking the rules, then they either stay silent, or blindly follow a fool who has the courage or blindness to claim that such a thing is wrong, and in grouping with a crowd, they have a backdrop for their mistake if they're wrong. They want to look good, it's a pride issue. I think that this isn't something is un-fixable - rather, it is very fixable, but it will come with time. I think more people like the people that are in your little clique of members, Golem, are the kind of people this community needs. Outspoken people who don't simply follow the crowd to present themselves well. Which is odd, because in doing they present themselves badly. In my eyes, at least. I think that if the community matures a bit, you'll be accepted better.

A lot of different stuff. I tend to stray more toward alternative rock, though.

Thank you for this. I made sure both GOLEM and AGGRON saw it.
