I received this from LoxleyHood in my PM box, comments please, and do not flame or make shitty remarks, I won't be impressed.
Contrary to what people may believe on these forums, myself and Ted want it to be happy, friendly and above all a solid community, regardless of what game you play. We hope other gamers will come here and mingle, this mindless "us" and "them" bollox is just plain stupid. Anyway, here is the private message:

Loxleyhood said:I don't see the eOT dispute being ended in any other way than every poster there being banned. I will tell you now that nobody in eOT or many other forums will go along with what the mods want while they disagree with it but we are not so naive as to believe that the mods will ever change their minds or the admins will change the CoC.
So this is what I suggest. You will remember that just prior to Barrysworld closing down there was a scheme floating around about the E&E team for the forums where each forum would receive it's own E&E member. I don't know what happened to this idea, whether it was abandoned or was just shelved when GAME closed Barrysworld but I propose an evolved system of the E&E idea.
I think that this idea should be used for all sub-forums on Freddyshouse. For example an E&E member for Excal General, Excal Alb, Hib, Mid, Excal RvR... etc. etc.
But firstly using eOT as a testing ground, I suggest that an E&E member be picked (either by poll or by the admins/mods) who writes the rules for that particular sub forum. Although these rules should include the FH CoC they should also allow the members of that forum to build it up in the way they see fit, thus making them happier with the situation and more likely to accept actions taken by the mods. Once these rules have been written up and finalised by the E&E member by means of discussion with the forum regulars they should be sent off to the mods/admins for alteration or agreement. Once a set of rules is made that both sides agree on the E&E member should post it and sticky it. These rules should govern how both posters and moderators behave.
I tried to write some rules for eOT on FH's first day, but without any support to back them up the idea was abandoned. https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=162
If I was to write the rules for eOT I would build upon these.
E&E members should be given a limited moderating capacity, i.e the ability to close/open threads, make polls and make threads stickies. The most important thing if this idea is to work is that E&E members must be treated with respect and attention by mods/admins. Any E&E member would know the mood of a sub-forum and would know the best course of action in certain situations. It is my belief that because Jupitus started moderating in eOT without understanding the mood of the forum that we know have the problems we have.
I have no posted this in feedback because I do not like the responses I get in there, but I will post it if you want me to.
