Guess I forgot I'm still at school and need to look up to the mods for guidence
One of the things I liked about Barrysworld and partially true here at FH, is the mods are part of the community. They don't have delusions of being superior, neither will they edit every thread to flaunt their 'power'. I've seen heavily moderated forums, which were clean enough to let your 6year old read... but BW, even with it's liberal moderating policy, was friendlier than those others.(original Wireplay and Blueyonder's GSP come to mind. The latter became a complete shithole and there was no surprise when it collapsed. Any GSP which uses pedantic schoolkids to moderate it's forums and servers is not going to last the year)
If you ever used those or similar forums, you'll know how much better a place like FH is, where people can speak their mind, use profanity and even drop the odd insult! All this without getting banned and the thread closed, deleted and wiped from all backups!
Personally I'd rather see FH continue the way it is... yes, it would be nice if no one flamed each other and we complemented each others hairstyles, etc... but it's also terribly boring.
P.S. ToA hasn't had that bad an effect on player's attitudes. Albion was worse 2 years ago... and those were the days! Entire guilds getting flamed because one member didn't res someone... Alliances being shunned because of private raids. There was more substance back then, than the pussy flames we see now. ToA has brought more people closer together than the divisions it's caused.
imo Damini was the best mod going, who moderated forums by... err, not moderating them!

Nice find.... but that agreement applies to all posters, not just the mods
