    Civilized discussion is allowed, complete disruption is not. There is a difference.
    My clan leader last night, informed Wildor that Mods to have rules to follow..

    He was promptly hit with a 2 day ban.

    You try and explain where in the world what Brady said was un-civilised and i'll go eat a hat.

    Look we all know there are certain members just crying out to become mods.... seems 1 became one just recently after it being pointed at him.

    So in the interest of those, who are not seeking power and just seeking a return to where the forums used to be ... please desist from pointless posts begging to be praised by mods.

    Cheers.

    If there is a specific mod that you see closing multiple threads or abusing their power, talk to a super mod or an administrator (like Thalin).
    Abstract you weren't always a mod... you have been around a while ...

    Are you seriously trying to put forward you will get responses ??

    Moreso have you not noticed these forums have take a HUGE leap into mass censorship land ? See the people receiving infractions these days ?? Way older members who have helped countless people in this game.

    Any thread now saying anything bad about Evony is auto deleted and you receive a "Disrespect of Authority" infraction ......... no just stink a little no ?

    We used to be able to take this massive pi$$ out of Dawnseeker and he would reply in kind when it was only a few servers with all the new hirings this place is gone to the dogs. Literally can't say a word unless it's "evonys great omg i love evony"

    DC, it is not good for business as it incurs huge losses and you cannot then give say 10% off to 1,000 customers.
    So please explain how SweetP's earlier thread/post that was deleted was either abusive or disruptive. It was polite and concise - maybe it just posed an unpopular question. Is it a case of everyone has the right to be heard as long as it isnt contentious?

    Come on, that's not fair. As a matter of fact we have a LOT of "Evony lags" threads right now and not a single infraction, warning, or ban has happened for these threads.

    But I can tell you that we have a very vocal minority of folks who have decided, for whatever reason, that they do not like something about Evony, and now are intent on disrupting everyone else's experience here. This is hugely different from saying "Hey I lost this battle, someone help me understand why" or "Server 5 seems laggy today".

    But when I see folks posting in public things that should be discussed in private, or attacking my volunteer moderators, or spreading falsehoods about a game that we work very hard on, or decide to make a personal crusade against the millions of people who enjoy playing Evony... this we choose not to allow to infect our forums.

    As always my door is open to all of you: please email me anytime at Mike@evony.com.

    Thank you,

    Now your coming to the conclusion lots of us have come to.

    As long as you praise Evony your welcome other than that BAN.

    What a swell idea

    LOL I find that post strangely funny. this is a thread that was based around the closing of thread's. People here have changed it into complain about evony. Believe me when I say that I'm annoyed by evony related issues, hell I've stopped playing the game, that's how annoyed I am. But I definitely don't want to be a Mod, Im 15 and I have better use of my time. What I said was the truth this has turned into a blame game

    To you and to Entropy, infractions and bannings are not allowed to be discussed. If anyone has a problem with an infraction or banning or just think a mod is plain wrong, message Dawnseeker or Valkirah. Many mods are even willing to discuss in PM's with the person the infraction was given to as a chance for that person to get it reversed.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    Like I just posted in another thread, this is both untrue and unfair.

    We have a very vocal minority of folks who have decided, for whatever reason, that they do not like something about Evony, and now are intent on disrupting everyone else's experience here. This is very different from saying "Hey I lost this battle, someone help me understand why" or "Server 5 seems laggy today".

    When I see folks posting in public things that should be discussed in private, or attacking my volunteer moderators, or spreading falsehoods about a game that we work very hard on, or decide to make a personal crusade against the millions of people who enjoy playing Evony... this we choose not to allow to infect our forums.
