"Talk about anything on your mind, TradeWars or not. But please, post game playing/hosting questions in the appropriate forum, and keep the discussion civil."

I'm at the point that I'm thinking of just not bothering logging here anymore.

Locking topics in OD, if no obscenities, racist remarks, dedadedadedah etc? PC gone mad.

This is ridiculous.

Either change the OD banner, or remove the Forum. Get real.

Kavanagh.

Would you rather I stop the train wreck before it happens, or wait until one or more individuals take it too far and get banned?
I've already explained my reasoning to you in PMs Kav.
Either way there will be people who won't be pleased.

The distillation of the Banner of this Forum is "keep the discussion civil", "discuss anything"

If the Moderator locks it for other reasons, it is not proper. If the Moderator decides that he/she decides that the Forum topic should be changed, I suggest he/she should do so., in the Banner.

Civility is in the eye of the beholder, is it not?
If people who report others for using the word "Kid" as an insult had their way, some others would have been banned a while ago. It is up to me as to what is civil or not. That said, I won't lock something for getting off topic, but when people lean towards personal attacks and trash talking, then there is no point in allowing it to continue. The OD is not for epeen measuring, or trash talking. I am not going to hold hands or babysit posters on this forum. If they cannot figure out how be civil, I will not make any effort to civilize them.
EOL.

Nothing like a small 3 day ban to cool things down a little :lol:

Bitter much?

People who start a fight and want to continue it somewhere else are not welcome to continue it here.

I won't let Crunch do it, I won't let D do it, why should I make an exception for you Helix?

Because you do let D do it. Not bitter at all, just pointing out you shouldn't make rules on the fly. Your job is moderation, not regulation.... As was pointed out to me. (many times) :LOL

I have as much respect for you these days as I have for D, Butch and Farley, you have painted yourself with the same brush of bias, lies, and deceptions. And Mob just hears who whines at him the loudest. Sadly, with John MIA, we are stuck with you. (And the conflict of interest that goes with it.)


Moderation is not easy, especially when I get going. LOL But, sounds like it's time for a change in the guard again.

This should be fun, even moderation. If it's no longer fun, why do it?

This forum is NOT a smack forum. There will not be a smack talk forum here. Hyperspace (it was EIS but EIS doesnt have a smack forum anymore - Helix) has been overran with trash since theirs opened. It's leaking into every other area and quickly filling their entire site with garbage-level content. Their forums are full of disrespect, personal assaults and nasty personal petty bickering. This makes it really hard for people with a real interest in the game to get anywhere.

Have a problem with someone? Well get over it or take it up in private message, that's why it's there.

There are very few things here that will get your messages removed or that will get you banned. VERY few. But a direct personal assault on another member IS one of those things. Basic respect and civility is expected here.

You and cruncher are the last ones to give anyone advice about moderation or morals for that fact!!!! You have been caught lying, cheating as a TWplayer and as a sysop, under 2 different handles!! You also were giving the boot from eis cause of ALOT of questionable action you made!!! Iam not the friendliest poster and have broken the forum posting rules my share of time, and have been warned/ban myself for it, you and cruncher need to stop crying, sack up, and take responsibility for your actions!! OSO and MOB have done a great job modding here as well as OSO at the other forum!!
