    You want it behind closed doors so you can continue to conduct unethical practice its that simple....

    Or at least thought it was didn't think I had to explain myself completely... thought I was dealing with educated people... sorry.

    Actually I think its so people can't create a 10 page thread on something that others see unfit. It keeps things clean and discreet to the matter at had.

    So, in other words, Moderators got tired of some people crying wolf, so no one gets a valid and actual means of pointing out abuse or misconduct? Hidden discussion are and always will be used to hide unethical decisions. That is why they existed in the first place.

    Speak English please... I think this topic is beyond your understanding if your entire post is one question.

    People could not make 10 page threads in that section either....
    The posts could only be replied to by moderators and dawn.

    Yes counterproductive cause in pm they can just ignore you... and do what ever they want... not have to actually handle the issue...

    I mean I thought I was speaking with educated people... sorry..

    Please fanboys go find another post to troll.

    Actually the only one who had Moderator in there was Evony Admin.
    Also people had access rights to reply to threads as I was one who did due to countless people bashing Dawn.

    Hidden discussion are and always will be used to hide unethical decisions.
    Regardless of if it's revealed to the public or dealt with privately, we moderators aren't immune from punishment if we act out of line, or don't do our jobs. Not all user's infractions are made public either, but they still get in trouble anyway.

    Yes counterproductive cause in pm they can just ignore you... and do what ever they want... not have to actually handle the issue...
    Few if any of the mods really have a "me > you" attitude. If you politely address an infraction with them, I'm fairly sure you'll get a response. But if you send them a pm saying something like, "ur stoopid like potato" then chances are it'll probably be ignored, sure. You can always bring it up with a higher up too, if you feel it was really unfair.

    Mods are not just 'average players' they are official representatives, and when Mods say something is so, average players figure the are getting a factual statement about game rules or mechanics.
    Not true. Liaisons are the actual official representatives. Moderators are just players that double over as volunteer forum workers. It's a common misconception that we moderators are representatives of Evony (and some of us do try to watch what we say because of that), but in truth, we represent nothing at all.
    It's all Rodri's fault.

    But see this issue at hand...

    It is left up to a small group behind closed doors.

    Issues such as removal from gaming forums should be dealt with in the public eyes.

    If Ex-President Bush conducted his torture in the eye of the public would he have gotten away with it?

    I did not dance around anything maybe clarifications of the question at hand?
    The forums is not the game... so issues with forum do not relate to issues with game in fact the other point I made in the original post was made for a fellow Alliance member.

    There are a few things I've learned from playing online games:

    • Some of the people who play these games are very highly educated. It's one of the things that allows them to have high paying jobs that let them splurge for in-game purchases.
    • People who have to resort to repeatedly claiming that they're "highly educated," usually aren't, or they have an inflated sense of the worth of where they graduated from. If people can't tell that you're intelligent by how clearly you can convey your ideas in writing, then trying to convince them by repeating, "I'm highly educated" isn't going to convince them. (Being a conspiracy nut doesn't help your cause either.)
    • People will write things in forums that they would never write in real life.


    That said, you're a conspiracy theorist nut job.

    Or, maybe more appropriately in your case: **** and ****.

    All the BBS's message boards, forums, that I have either moderated or operated, The moderators were never given free reign to do as they please. To the contrary, They were seen as representatives of the company, organization or project hosting the forum as such they were expected to preform their duties with a certain about of professionalism. Every post they made, or message they sent was scrutinized even before they were allowed to moderate. I have personally dismissed several moderators for taking certain liberties with their power.

    You had better believe the moderators do discuss things, and consult with the liaisons. The liaisons are watching the forum, to make sure the moderators are doing their job. Are some things handled behind closed doors?, Yes, and they should be. Just because you don't see something happening doesn't mean isn't happening.

    If you have a problem with a moderator take up with that moderator, privately, If you are not satisfied you can take take up with another moderator or liaison again privately, and show a little respect. It will go a long way to resolving your issue. Even if you don't agree with their decision please try to respect them as people. I am not a part of the moderating team, and I know this out of common courtesy.

    What is more appropriate to handle behind closed doors?
    You had me puzzled on this...

    Trying to think of a single situation where violation of forum rules would be better handled behind closed doors....

    I have been on many forums and some forums even have a sticky thread with link , with who has been banned and the reason they were banned along with the actual post.
