Well it was fun

Considering the usual chaos of the forums, there probably ever isn't a good day to do that.

I have to say though, TWT, that your claim seems a bit... unfounded. Yes, the mods are clamping down on spam and derailment. That's their job. It's what they were "hired" or whatever to do-- keep order and calm in the threads.

I don't know much about the other mods, but I know at least that FoxyBunny, Logrus, and Cyhort (from the little I've seen of him since idt he's on this section of the forums actually, but you just said mods in general) in particular have been doing good jobs at keeping things in order-- and considering what we give them to work with that's saying something.

As to the united front thing... that sounds vaguely like you're trying to organise a riot of some kind which, as we've seen in the past, are uncalled for and fairly ineffective. When you signed up for Evony you agreed to abide by their rules. These are the rules. Complaining about them after you hit the "I accept" button seems a bit ridiculous, don't you think? At least they allow the games to continue as long as they stay under the premise of being games. If someone wants to talk about something not related to the games then they have the bar, convo thread, pms, or even a new thread if they dare risk it and can keep it on topic.

And after the mess the mods were left to clean up earlier I can't blame them for not wanting as many pointless messages wandering around either. How are they expected to figure out for example if someone posts a three word comment about cheese that it actually originally came from a thread about music?

I'll admit that sometimes it is easier and enjoyable to just wander aimlessly off topic without going to a different thread, but derailment and spam isn't exactly supposed to be convenient for us considering it's not supposed to be allowed at all.

You stated that better than I was able to, I for some reason could not find the correct words, where as you have. Good job, I gave you rep for that.
