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 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.
