Hi, actual mod here. This very much fits within Alliance Affairs. Alliance announcements for things like events, birthdays, anniversaries, treaties, statements from an alliance on topics of the day, etc. Anything that is coming officially from an alliance is fine within alliance affairs as long as it abides by the forums rules. Orbis Central is for general conversation coming from individual players. We do need to moderate alliance affairs a bit better though.

Went ahead and pinned this along with the ships proposal thread, and put them both one layer up into Game Discussion so they'd be easier to find. Cheers

Hello all, Due to the high volume of reports on this thread, it is worth mentioning that respectful discussion can take place even when disagreeing. Please keep this in mind moving forward. Any rules found broken will, as always, be addressed on an individual basis. This is just a friendly reminder post.

Hello, I will go on record and state the original poster received a warning for this post. Alliance Affairs is a higher-moderation area where we will enforce a slightly higher standard regarding the spam rule. One word posts, single-image posts, or off-topic posts should not be here. Thank you.

That is my doing while doing a quick parse through the moderation logs. I restored the post but removed the gif. The word filter rules unfortunately still apply to images or gifs posted on the forum. If the auto-censor filters it, the forum mods have to filter it as well. Thanks for understanding.

Hey, I apologize for not responding to your PM as it seemed self-explanatory at the time. I Know It's Pink / Teen Sexual Harassment | Know Your Meme Here's a link to help inform the warning. Sexually harassing / making sexist comments about the genetalia of other players is in direct violation of our sexual harassment / sexism rule. I hope this clarified things, thanks!

Just popping in to remind the freefolk of Middle Orbis that even though this bloc had a name that sounds like an animal, posting pictures of dead animals in the disbandment thread still violates the forum rules. Thank you for your time, please continue.

You received a warning for posting "This is garbage, you're all idiots" in Prefontaine's thread regarding decorum in the Game Suggestions subforum. Alliance Affairs and Game Suggestions are more tightly moderated than other areas, but that was a warn-able post anywhere. For future reference, if you wish to appeal warnings I'd highly suggest doing so in the Appeals subforums not in Orbis Central. This isn't the place to discuss moderator activity or actions, but I do apologize for being a little less active lately. Here I am making up for it :)

Please remember this is a no-discussion forum

Get back on topic please. This is the only warning.

For the future: We do allow relevant parties to respond to a report with their own counter-evidence but please keep it to one or two posts. This is a non-discussion forum. Reports should never turn into debates.

Locked for descending into madness

I think it's worth noting that the mod team does not give additional points or warnings because someone is complaining about a warning. If you make a "frick the mods" thread then you might earn additional warnings. Annyways - No discussion forum please observe respectful silence.

Please bring this thread back on topic.

This is a no discussion forum. I see two pages of argument. Thank you for your original report, but the "no-discussion" rule takes effect for the reporter as well. A game report isn't your personal platform to argue and investigate. You report, Admins will follow up. I've been pretty strict and pretty clear for the last month or two about the No Discussion Forums being abused. I'm just going to hand out warnings from now on.
