    The end is nigh. I'm sure my coffee maker is planning on world domination.

    Got to agree Khalee's post is well worth a healthy dose of rep.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    Well if you've spent any time whatsoever on here you know they won't allow anything negative towards the game or anyone for that matter, anything that involves 'not so bad' words, anything that might spark a debate, or even the slightest thing that could tick someone off. Very strict rules

    Why? Because both will cause heated debate and/or conflict.

    Fact is, you don't have to talk about it for others to start such debate/conflict. You just have to state that you have a belief..... sometimes, you just have to open your front door on a Sunday (yeesh!)

    Personally, I've seen many people comment on someone's sig. Having a sig that states a religious belief creates a potential for entirely off-topic conflict which can be sparked purely by someone commenting or drawing attention to it. This would be against forum rules. They're not trying to infringe on your rights to have a religious belief, or even to want to tell the world.... just not the Evony Forum world.

    Although, for the same reason, I do believe those having sig's like "you're all going to hell" should similarly be removed.

    Okay. Mainly, if it's borderline, it's hard to make a call so we won't do it unless someone complains. Anti or pro religion of any sort however especially if someone complains, is removed. If it's very blatant and we catch it, it is also removed. It is an infractionable offense as well.

    Also, this entire thread breaks three separate rules so before the handouts come I'm closing up shop. If you have further questions regarding warnings, infractions, edits, or removals, PM a mod please as we also cannot discuss disciplinary action of any sort regarding any individual on the forums.

    PS - Don't repost this thread or it will be closed and you will get an infraction *eyes all the people in the room individually so you catch my drift*

    Thank you!

    Compliments of the wonderful Warsimi!

    For clarification, I was the one to remove the signature.

    Wolf, I really have no idea who you are or your history on this forum, so I assure you this was not some sort of personal act against you for any reason.

    The reason it was removed is because Evony is played by people of all walks of life, and unfortunately, not everyone is tolerant of religions of which they do not belong. To avoid "religion bashing", or any other hostilities (which have happened in the past), we feel it's better to avoid references to faith on the public board. Similar goes for politics, for much the same reasons.

    As for your signature being removed and others staying, I will just say that sometimes things slip past my radar. Because dialup is my only internet option, I turn off avatars, signatures, and post images so that I can browse the forum in a timely manner. As such, I am unaware of such images or content unless either someone specifically points them out to me (which is why I always encourage people to report such things if they're against the rules, so I know where to go and what to do), or I happen across them on my own during my random profile patrols.

    As for religious content in the game itself, I don't know Evony's in-game policy, and either way, I can't enforce anything within the game itself. The forums, on the other hand, specifically request an absence of religious content, to which I can enforce, and do.
    It's all Rodri's fault.
