Someone who actually understands free speech? I never thought I'd find such a person on the internet! Bet 10 bucks he's not a republican :)

Gosh, there ya go diving into politics. What does being a republican have to do with agreeing with free speech? No, don't answer that.
Look, the world chat is 1000 times less annoying than it would be without charging speakers to use it. Whispers work, as does alliance chat and mail. Speakers are won on the Wheel all the time. I have hundreds. Should you not agree with the way this is done, please go make an alternative suggestion in the Game Suggestion forum.
If your suggestion involves having in-game mods like WoW to regulate the world chat, please be sure to include the $15/month fee charged by WoW to support this.
well. forgive me for having an opinion. I don't know how many games or betas or any of your qualifications are. You say the $15/month fee charged by wow to support this?? well, i'd like to suggest to you that MOST of the moderation and Forum SUPPORT is done by volunteers, mature people (like myself) who give there time FREELY, graciously and generously in support of the wonderful gaming experience they recieve. I'm sure some may be compensated in some way but not in the $15 month/fee.. if the $15/month fee was to include moderater fees , we would ALL be moderators.. There are many members who would GLADLY give of there time to help the moderation of this growing game, freely!, just as in other major games of this type. Some people consider it a privilege and an honor, not a job. I'll not continue the post , apparently its a bad subject and like all other bad subjects will be sent off to the bad subject bin. Its not always just users who need moderating, sometimes the moderators themselves need to do a lil' research on the subject they are so quick to stifle, but I guess its easier to send it to the dustbin.. Love Evony, great gaming experience, respectfully!
Posting a counter argument does not constitute stifling free speech. Some of the responses were hostile, but then again so was your original post and most of them since.
Do a bit of research on which party has the greater record of voter intimidation, fraud, planting, and media favoritism before making such statements.Quote:

My point is that to compare how this business runs against how WoW is run is neither fair nor reasonable since they charge a monthly fee of every user for their game. We do things differently here. I'm sure there are things about WoW that you think are better than Evony, but I am also sure there are things about Evony that are better than WoW.
I really did mean it when I said that you should post alternative suggestions in the Game Suggestion forum. That is read by the devs, and player opinions are not discounted. Should you come here to General Discussion with this topic, or any topic, you need to understand that it will be discussed, and that not everyone will agree with you.
I didn't take your response as hostile, sorry if it seemed that way. I do know Evony isn't run as WoW and wasn't comparing. I do have a WoW account and a LOTRO account, but, since i've discovered Evony, i've abandoned, stopped playing those accounts. It's my opinion that Evony is far superiour, more enjoyable and has much more depth. Its like I have previously stated, a super gaming experience. I will opologize and I will conclude that you are absolutly correct, this post would be better served in the suggestion area. I will hold to my opinion about the speech, and i've only meant it as a constructive post, not a negative to Evony, just a personal opinion. Evony is new and growing, i'm sure they will make many changes and I hope that is 1 of them. I will be sure to express my opinions in the proper forums in the future. Thanks for your direction, much appreciated.. happy hunting!

This is a game forum, please lets move on.
Agreed.
Wait a minute. You just said several insulting politics-related remarks, then try and cover it up with a basic 'anyone else who talks about this will be derailing the thread, but not me, cuz I put this statement at the end of my post' statement. That's what I like to think of as hypocracy and cowardice.
