Swearing isn't insulting. Only if directed in such a manor.

Which most of it on this forum is lets be honest.

hey, guess what.


the thread was moved.

I know, I’ve seen it. I’ve flagged posts too. However, some of the comments are so offensive and out of line, that it makes it hard to get into the conversation. There needs to be regular intervention. I pay to play this game, I/we’re entitled to this request.

I agree, but I think they probably just don't have the manpower to immediately address every rule violation. My 10-day ban was like 1-2 weeks after I made the post, so that should be some indication at least.

Moles are fake.

They are not. It's business 101 today. Look it up, smh.

Awesome.

Don't think anyone who is still sane takes discussions on a message board too seriously.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Can't expect people to be here every minute of every day. Can't pick just anyone to represent your community.

But you can ignore other posters.

Why does some dude acting like an ass have to bring you down? Why do you have to be upset that they are upset?

Too seriously? Agreed. However implying that the internet is the way it is and we should just all move on does nothing but contribute to the problem. I hear the wisdom in your words, but I believe it to be an encompassing statement that is a catchall for the way things are.

There are decent communities out there, this should be one imo.

You think that's bad? i got banned for ten days for hurting someones feelings yet people swear like sailors on this forum and not a thing happens to em.

I've been banned a few days in the past for quoting swears an unpleasant player said in-game as a part of another discussion. It was not directed at anyone, nor did I name said player.

Their rules are wide open to interpretation from each, individual moderator. They ban when they feel like it.

I didn't want to address this because my honest comment could seem disrespectful to the moderation staff. However, it's been brought up enough already that it needs addressed. I'll take my lashings and move on with my day. I'm a big boy, and if I am in violation of the ToS I will submit like a puppy starved of milk. I know my place, others should too...comes with age. I have two accounts anyway lol. jijijijijijijijijij juuuuuuuuuust jokin xD (not about the 2 accounts).

What also comes with age is understanding that sometimes rules are meant to be broken, albeit it is rarely justified. However, ask yourselves this: How many times has someone made that super lighthearted troll that even made the trollee laugh and get back to "on topic" while laughing the whole time? Those trolls are beautiful when they happen at just the right time in just the right thread. The problem nowadays in the malicious intent behind a lot of trolls. Some of the posters here are one post away from just spewing out racist terms (which some are indeed guilty).

It's not that I'm trying to contest any authority, it's that I'm entitled to my opinions and objective observations. When you think about it, isn't that what forum life is kinda all about?

I just want to give you all a big hug.

I agree with you on how the forum should be considered as part of the game, and also how it should be moderated accordingly. However, people do what they want. This also applies to the people overseeing these boards. If they can, they will. If they don't want to, they won't. That golden standard we all hope should be there stretches across so many different interpretations of what we think is the same thing. There's really nothing to do about it except have discussions like this, which more than likely won't make any difference at all.
