    Er...your logic is starting to confuse and astound me. If you did something bad enough to be banned with no warning, then you probably don't deserve the right to be on this forum.

    So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
    Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
    That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
    We might just make it after all, on our own

    "Whether a statement is viewed as an expression of fact or opinion can depend upon context - that is, whether or not the person making the statement would be perceived by the community as being in a position to know whether or not it is true."
    Based on this paragraph, I think it would be very difficult if not impossible for anyone to legally lible or slander Evony in these forums,with the exception of forum mods and Evony employees.

    ...Yeah, you never actually read that thread. Nothing even remotely racial in there. Nothing libelous either, at least nothing that would stand up in any court. I've seen you throw that word around a fair bit Thalin, you might want to be a bit more judicious in your use of it. You know, given that even if you did go through the great difficulty and expense of pressing a claim against someone in these forums, and even if you had a halfway decent case, the headlines 'Gaming company sues player over negative remarks made in forum' would just about be the death knell for Evony.

    But so very, very easy.

    While I know it may be easy, it is not allowed.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to prove my point while missing it completely yourself.

    Most of the bans that i've seen, in fact nearly all of them, have been a result of negativity and criticism toward Evony, often justified, occasionally not. Either way, the proper means of dealing with it is with words, counter-arguments, and debate. The banhammer should be used only in extreme circumstances such as very foul language, sexual content, spamming and racism.
    In order for a person to stay banned on a forum, especially one with lax security, they need to feel that the community in general disapproves of them; not just a few select people in the upper echelons that they were disagreeing with in the first place. Banning in that case simply makes a person more determined, and often will cause them to pick of their flaming sword of flaming, their can of spam(of spam of spam of spam of spam) and start trolling.
    Long story short: Your current forum policy does not work. It will never work. And quoting the rules is a poor substitute for common sense.
