What about selecting a few more mods to assist the current mods who can't spend all day just watching for flames???

As a record, all Jedi's are not permitted to flame. Any flaming will be treated seriously and according to the rules, punishment will be administered.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Flaming out of context is bad. Flaming in arguments is a debate! :wink:

It looks like the only battles the Knights and the Pride have are sarcastic, verbal ones instead of on the battlefield. :lol: I actually enjoy our "War of the Words" (I mean the Knights and the Pride). :D No-one takes it seriously anyway.

@ Cameron
It is not just the flames that is killing this place, also all the pointless spam-replies, even in this topic.

The only way to eradicate this is to warn the offenders, once, or twice, then Ban them. It may seem harsh, but the only way to have a Board where people can come and enjoy themselves.

Due to recent happenings/spam-sessions I decided to take a leave from this board for a few months, and see how things are after that. If the same continue, I simply won't return.

It is a problem visiting threads, which should be intelligent, and only find every 10th or 15th reply useful.

Sad that it came down to this. There are a few Mods here that does a good job, eg Jee, David, and Anarchy, but a lot of the others needs to be replaced by guys that want to be Moderators. How many of the current bunch still visits the site?

Just my opinion anyway.

Have fun, take care, see you all around.

Sounds like you know very little about having a successful site/ forum. A bit of neffing is to be expected. Same with flaming. Both have their place.

Please remove that e-stick from your a55.

Yeah, I have seen two brilliant forums fall over the years due to harsh rules.

It always starts this way, and then the rules get stricter and stricter, people get banned, and the forum loses its support.

I've seen my share. Luckily the member base of each found other homes.

Not only that but it gives posters a chance to vent and is usually resolved shortly thereafter. Not that I haven't seen a few feuds last awhile. What good is a forum if you can't call an asshat an asshat especially when there are plenty of places where you can?
