The prodigal poster is right. And you would all be well advised to calm down and start behaving civilly towards one another.Quote:

But, this isn't an argument Ikeni. I'm not trying to prove any points.
Things are fine here, they were always fine, they will always be fine.
You don't really need to ask me to do that, i'm quite confident my posts are of an acceptable standard.Quote:
Stop wasting your breath complaining and go make some quality posts.
I wasn't on about my own threads, I was on about OT as a whole. You seem to think i'm being self-centred in my concerns about OT, but my posts are the culmination of the trends i've seen throughout the forum.Quote:
If you are so concerned with thread derailment, go make your threads in SOT.
How have I not behaved civilly?Quote:

Ikeni, let's take this to VMs if you really want to continue.
And no one was saying you were flaming.
I'm the only flamer here right now.

- Stricter Rule Enforcement
- more mods
- Make trolling and derailing a suspendable offense
- Make harassment a bannable offense
- make acer a mod
- Give all mods jurisdiction over off topic
of course these are suggestions, and not all of them may be a perfect fit or even a viable option for the ot, but I am bringing them up for discussion and debate to decide whether or not they ARE viable or fitting for off topic.

Case-by-case. There's no point harshly punishing some one-time poster for something that was technically a violation of the rules but they were unaware of the fact. Rules should be more strictly enforced for frequent rule breakers who would be familiar with the rules however.Quote:
Stricter Rule Enforcement
I think my "Lack of Moderation?" thread summed up why more mods aren't necessary, though if there's a good counterargument against this then I would be interested in hearing it.Quote:
more mods
I disagree with making trolling a suspendable offence. It's entirely based on opinion rather than a clear fact and could result in moderator power abuse whereas derailment is more clear-cut. Even then, rather than making it suspendable it should be done case-by-case.Quote:
Make trolling and derailing a suspendable offense
I'm sure if you are harassed and you contact the staff the issue will be dealt with appropriately. IIRC, vBulletin forums use an infraction system so if you accumulate enough points then you get banned/suspended. Not sure if Evony has a different infraction system though, though I suppose in theory if a member frequently harassed others they would get banned regardless of whether it was "officially" a bannable offence which I think all violations of the rules are if to a great enough extent.Quote:

I don't know him myself, so my opinion on this would be useless.Quote:
make acer a mod
Well just think, there are the regular moderators who have power in the off-topic forum, then there are the seniors and the administrators, so there's plenty of moderators to police each forum. Overall I think I agree with your intentions, just not your execution of your ideas. I'm sure with a bit more input from other members who frequent the forum however we can gauge an accurate summary of what needs to be done.Quote:
