Ponyman, are those private messages you're quoting there? Correct me if I'm wrong.


Kosta, You've warned me for sharing somethign that was said "under four eyes". Why is Ponyman any different? I expect an answer, if I dont' get one, there's one thing that's obvious. And I'm not going to say it because apparantly people can't say the truth around here.

Such drama, so tiring.

I wonder what the big deal is here... this is a game site, not freaking world domination. What is there to be political about? Is there nothing more worthwhile to do with your time? Give it a rest.

Moli, reports are not private messages, they go to a large group of moderators and will be read by all of them. The fact they use the same mechanism as the PMs is irrelevant, I see no problem with the posting of mod reports in the open forum.

I posted the content of all nine of your reports in the Mod forum, I got them and read them as they came in. I did not think The Punisher's post was inappropriate enough to warrant mod action in its context. On reflection, I should have informed you of this, since you reported it, I did not and I apologise, I'll do so in future.

In any case, one report of a post, with a description of what you find offensive about the post, is always sufficient. Aside from that, the content of your later posts were rude and inappropriate; you know what you wrote, don't feign ignorance if you don't want me to post them all here.

Of course! Everytime we have something going on, someone reminds that this is a game site!

But this is forum. We dont just talk about games, we talk about our lives, our passions, our dreams and hopes........

Just look at this!! This type of arguing and conspirating make's people want to leave!! You goddam shmucks!!

Kosta, there is a problem. I dont know what it is but please find it out and fix it!

Cheez.. <_<

I was merely illustrating the contrast between the community here, and something such as the UN. What is the big deal that a the angst of a few individuals has to turn into a question of board-wide "politics"? Anyone who sees this site as a political platform, or believes that organized rebellions against the administration are necessary obviously has too much time on their hands.

There are rules, and the members choose to follow the rules or not, and if not, they risk the consequences of being punished in some way by the admins. I don't think that's such a big problem... it's not like an admin here is going to bomb your city or toss you underneath a prison for the next 50 years for misbehaving on the forum. The worst that's going to happen is that someone will get banned. Boo-hoo, they have to find another community to break the rules in. It's just not that big a deal. If it is that big a deal, then perhaps someone needs to get some perspective. Suck it up, take your medicine, and try harder. It really isn't that difficult to be courteous, nice, and avoid punishment by admins.

Edit: pressed the quote button on the wrong post.

Well he founded the breakaway Dissidents' forum for people who are unhappy with how this forum is run --so that this very thing wouldn't happen and yet it's happening again--, I can't think of more benevolent a solution; it's too benevolent in my opinion, I wouldn't have done it. If you're asking for an alternative solution, it would be banning in other forums and I can't think of another one except submitting to the will of a minority against the owner's criterion, and then we'd have the same problem the other way around.

Some people argue that if they say why they're insulting then they're not insulting. I don't agree, but if somebody thinks that the anti-flaming rules are too tough here --they're supposed to be objective, not to depend on the mod-- he may consider that any grudge can be discussed without resorting to insults. Like in "I didn't like what you did at all" instead of "You're a complete idiot because what you did was moronic".

Being rude, and insulting people, and deliberately trying to cause trouble is hardly discussing your dreams and hopes. <_<

Well, what if my dreams and hopes happen to be being rude, insulting people and causing trouble?:P

Then I would say...

Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.[/b]
