I am not talking about not allowing mods to come here and post but allowing the entire section to be unmoderated!

To allow the like sub-community to police it's self!

Come brothers unite in the cause!

This thread kinda proves why it's a bad idea.

Is that an oxymorons strange cousin? A thread that proves it's stupidity :D

We all know that you're the moderators little pet. Kind of like a lighter version of Awarkle (possibly gunning for a position yourself?)

Me? Moderators pet? Piss off.

I got a no warning ban for three days when i stepped over the line. In no way i'm a "favored" individual. I just know how to behave and learn from my mistakes *cough* Which you don't evidently.

And how did you come to that conclution?

I havn't been "banned" for over a year (I got my postage rights removed for something hardly worth it) I have said worse before and got away with it, its not my fault mods keep moving the goal posts when they feel like it.

I admit, the mods SHOULD give us a LITTLE more slack (e.g. Insulting should be fine, but DIAF shouldn't) since we speak about pure crap anyway. But, some mods are needed.

EDIT: Also, I've learnt a few lessons. Been banned twice on this account, for different reasons though. So, Mods do do thier jobs. Just sometimes without reading responces :(

Give back Tears.. Alan just sounds ghey! No offence!

People saying "ghey" sound "ghey"

Oh hold on...lets break it down

if I use "Ghey" after insulting someone that uses the phrase "Ghey" am I "Ghey" for using the word "Ghey" or will it break down into the sarcastic tone that it was meant to be implied in or shall it's meaning and tone be lost in the vast world and sub-culture that is the internet and internet forum retrospectively.

This is a perplexing quandury.

Well you do have a tendency for walking "the line".

Actually the goal posts are quite firmly placed, it's just the "personal opinion" that matters. And when you have a person with no stick and a person with a banstick, the banstick, 9 10 out of 10 times, wins.

What exactly is "Winning?" Stopping me from posting for 5 days is not a tradional victory.

I walk the line and I don't complain when I get punished, but some mods DO move the goal posts whether you want to see it or not.

Gonna go with no tbh, I'm not a fan of mods in OT but there are certain people that will take advantage of no moderation.

Gamah, i've noticed that pretty much every single whinge in OT for the last few months have been started by you, if you're so unhappy with the state of everything, why don't you go and open your own little version of OT on your local computer where you can spam, see your post count and even have no mods!

:p

Sharma, I see you have the observation of a newt.

1. This is not a whine
2. I haven't started any whine threads in the past 6 months, they have been started by other people I have added my thoughts on the matter (shock..horror thats what forums are about)

An OT without mods would be like a Seel without the 'grumpy old man' syndrome, it just cannot be!

Forums also have rules, take a look at the other gaming forums around, you wont find many that allow the slackness which has been granted in the DAOC forums. There is a great community here in OT, I personally don't think the moderation here is too harsh, but if the community as a whole feels there is a problem then I'll surely be thinking twice before showing the red card... however, the rules are there for a reason and need to be upheld.
