Popular Post Saru Posted June 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I remember raising this issue awhile ago, back when Ragnar was on the mod team. I thought that the general consensus was that being overly strict in moderation and punishing people for using the words such as "game" etc was something the community was not in support of. We seem to have reversed back to the same old ways -- with Skynet opting to dish out warns for such minor infringements. Surely you guys are there to serve us and make our game experience more pleasurable, as oppose to imposing your will, and making arbitrary rules that the community don't really care for?

Kadin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Agree 100%. If I remember correctly, we had this discussion back in beta and nobody wanted that kind of overbearing moderation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwynn Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I'll just link to the Alliance Announcements forum itself which states that references to the game are allowed. http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3412-alliance-affairs-forum-guidelines/?p=43043 I recall the discussion, and it was decided that IC/OOC were gone and it was dubbed In-Game / Out-of-game style similar to the way Planet Chris operated. Also, you'll note that each of the forums are listed as In-Game and Out-Of-Game... So. Moderation blundered. Edited June 2, 2015 by Micheal Malone He's right, I'm such a stinker.

Baboon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This matter is being discussed between the moderation team at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Guys, the moderators are just doing their best to improve the community as a whole. While I don't necessarily think that calling this a game in an in-game discussion deserved a warn, I think that it is at least partially justified. The rules clearly state which forums are in-character and which are out of character. I think we all need to appreciate how much the moderator team does for us instead of constantly complaining about how 'bad' the decisions they make are. Without the mods, this community would be flooded with inappropriate imagery, constant vulgar, harsh insults, and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No then stop posting here. ☾☆ Priest of Dio º¤ø„¤¤º°¨ ø„¸¸„¨ ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¸ GOD EMPEROR DIO BRANDO¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¸ DIO BRANDO GOD EMPEROR¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¤¤º°¨ ø„¸¸„¨ ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwynn Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Pump your brakes kid. Neither were you. The rules specifically state "in-character discussion" or "out of character discussion". Clearly you haven't read the rules. Could you point me to where it states that? It doesn't. I already linked the rules. Read them again. He's right, I'm such a stinker. Play my exceptional game!

Gee, I don't know, it definitely doesn't state in character or out of character at the top of each sub-forum. Yep, I have read the rules, and I just pointed you to where it states that. I have read them multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Also, In-Game/Out-of-Game Forums deemed “In-game†are intended for players to remain in the character of their nation leaders. References made to the game mechanics, alliance forums, and irc, as it pertains to the game, are allowed in these forums. Hmm, Malone. It appears that you are the one that didn't read the rules.

Arthur Wellington Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 There are several threads like this with the same topic, people wanting more freedom to express something. But there arent any pearls of wisdom or amazing new views being modded out.. Its seems to me that people just want the freedom to say all the shitty things they think of at that moment. There are so many different parts of this forum, to each his own, and still its not enough? Just my 2 cents.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
