    I completely agree with you Splinter. Just for an example, take a look at the RuneQuake scene.

    Now wait! I know what some of you are saying "I don't even play RuneQuake", well I'll tell you what happened! It all started like this, at the TLTQ forums (the RQ community HUB), the trollers and drama llamas became rampid. The admins tried to brainstorm ideas on how to stop it without causing even more of a disturbance and seem like power hungry admins banning people, deleting topics, etc. It got bad enough the administrators who were also the server owners got fed up and simply packed their bags and left. That threw the RQ community into shambles and eventually a large majority of skilled self-respecting Quakers left. Needless to say, the RQ players eventually degraded the only RuneQuake server into an abusive, trolling grounds with the player count at an all-time low now.

    If it wasn't for Baker, Steve, and Yellow who started this site to salvage the disaster who knows what state we would be in. I'm not saying with conviction this would happen to this community but instead I say it with caution to others that they might realize what could happen.

    Wise words.



    BTW, have a Merry Christmas everyone!

      I know I don't know of any easy answers, except with the idea of continuing to try to improve things that eventually something will come up

      There is something to be said for the fact that this game is still around.

                    This sucks. I wouldn't tolerate this if I were you.

                      Um, I've had nothing to do with the recent moderation activities, just for your information. But I support them.

                      The community voted to ban Kimp from the forums for ruining games and sabotaging servers. Feel free to argue with that until you are blue in the face, but that's just how it is and it was a community vote.

                      And to others: I'm not offended by posts or people's avatars, that's part of free expression and what makes this site special versus sites that limit debate.

                        Things like this create a sort of atmosphere that I don't enjoy sharing.

                        That includes these hateful and immature posts, as well as the site owners' non-reaction towards them. It's just sad and I simply don't understand it. If you really count hateful, immature, and offensive posts under freedom of expression (I'm not from North Korea, I know what that is) then you are terribly mistaken. Most forums moderate those for a good reason.

                        If only for netiquette. Master Splinter, google that please.

                        And sometimes, netiquette needs to be enforced in order for all netizens to enjoy their stay. That's all there is to it.

                          Baker, I completely support this.. in other forums I'm a part of, if there is any offensive content (racism, prejudice, personal attacks) it will result in a warning and then a suspension followed by a ban (depending on the level of the personal attack).

                          I hope you take steps and start suspending/banning users for a period of time for insults, and trust me, it will stop.

                            Wow, Splinter kind took his own thread post and kinda gave it a full 180, eh?

                            Isn't there a word for this? ...HYPOCRITE?

                              I personally don't believe in censorship.

                              Splinter is upset [I'm guessing ... I won't pretend I can read his mind]. He made what are actually some really funny and creative pictures.

                              I think they are funny.

                              Someone on the internet types some words and I'm supposed to get all worked up about that?

                              This is a site for the community by the community. It's supposed to have some drama some of the time!

                                There is a difference between drama and outright hating someone because of their sexual preference, there shouldn't be room for that on any forums, anywhere.
