Unique, individual posts that discuss and relate to the topic you are posting in. Perhaps you will actually get more out of engaging in proper discussion in threads. One of the beautiful things about message boards like this is that real life status makes no difference and everyone is conversing from an equal footing, so please do not try and use whatever real life position you claim to possess to give your posts more weight. As we have said multiple times, discussion on the ASCII posts is now over and has been had plenty of times. Sheepy has also ruled on it so please stop bringing it up, or I will be forced to lock more of these threads and hand out more warns.

The nation link on my account links to whoever clicks it's nation. Correct, and I am one of the players who also believes that, however this is not one of those situations. If we rolled over on every issue a group of players takes up with us, this forum would be a mess and unusable. Rules are rules, and we are often very leniant.

The rules were made by Sheepy to avoid witch hunting and disrespect. They will not be changed I'm afraid so that's the last question I will answer on this particular topic. I understand that you guys are upset by this whole ordeal but constantly arguing against the mods and disregarding the rules in this community is only going to get all of you eventually banned by the sheer amount of warns.

Please keep it on topic or the thread will be locked.

You cannot create a thread or have public discussion on this forum regarding the quality or identity of the modding staff.

Because, whilst you may have worded it differently it boils down to you discussing the same issue the last 5 threads had been, and it made more sense to just lock them and wait for a final word from sheepy, which was had.

You can pm sheepy. Complaining about the moderation staff in public forums is indeed against the rules.

Topics are locked when the question has clearly been answered and is now simply being ignored and repeated. The threads in question were not needed to be reopened as the question was answered by sheepy in his announcement. We are not unwilling to discuss rules as you will see many threads here doing that, but if you refuse to listen and disregard what we say, your threads will get locked.

You've been answered, this topic will no longer be discussed and each time you create a new thread for it now it will simply be locked and you will receive a warn as you just have.

It may be content at the bottom, but you very much are just posting to disrespect the modding staff, and therefore have been warned.

Locking this thread now, the modding staff have said all we need to on the subject.

Trust me, I know more than anyone about soft modding and keeping the game fun, that is half the reason I was appointed and I was very against heavy handed modding and am in favour of letting people have fun. However blatant disregard for the modding staff, who put their own extra time and effort into running this forum effectively, is 100% not a good thing and is detrimental to the health of the forum. You need to now take a step back, look at it from a mods perspective and "check yo self". As we have said, any post in the awards thread that disregards what we have said and is a clear attempt to annoy the modding staff will receive a warn. We are not making a big deal of anything, you are the guys that made this thread. We are also not modding arbitrarily, we have said our piece and as mods are all agreed. In the future please try to make better contribution to the community in your posts to avoid further warns.

You were told further ones would result in warns, therefore they have.

This is getting ridiculous now. I don't care how it works in other games, here, if your post offers no contribution to the discussion at hand, and is simply a direct repeat of something someone else just said, whether a quote or a copy and paste, it is regarded as spam by the moderation team. It doesn't matter if it is from another games culture, or you have been doing it for 7 years in your back garden, if it is a direct re-post of what someone has already said, it is spam. We are lenient on this to an extent, but when you get 5+ in a row it becomes ridiculous and adds nothing it should and will be stopped. Please refrain from doing this in the future. By all means, roleplay and post that ASCII, just add some more original content to your post. Thank you.

He said 'might'. We are only human and therefore use our judgement based on the rules when handing out warns or making posts on threads. I personally would have made the same comment fiz did regardless of what was posted as it was repeated many times with no additional content.

Celebrating is fine, repeatedly posting the same thing is not, that is spam, as you were informed by fizban. In response to your question, if you had all put the exact same 'hurrah, we won' you would also have received the same response.

No. Locked.

If it's not filtered (unless it's just been missed out, but obviously it hasn't in this case) it's not profanity in the eyes of the mods.

What a !@#$ing train wreck. Locked. Edit: unlocked on request and review. Keep it on track, keep it in context. Warns have been handed out.

This is the game suggestions forum, keep your comments useful or don't comment at all. Warned.

err...I mean... Comment?

No comment

Please don't make multiple threads about the same suggestion. Merged.

Sure thing

Locked
