Bull. Crap. Those three threads that Johnny pointed out were about this section or about FlyFF servers.1. Doesn't really have anything to do with the section.
EX: http://forum.ragezone.com/f651/use-server-778326/
All he was asking is what Specs would be good for a flyff server. You didn't even let anyone reply? You just closed it. He didn't get the help he needed.
On almost all of Alder's replies were completely true. The censoring is overused. People say one tiny word, and suddenly, their post is edited.
Your missing pretty much the biggest thing: Facebook isn't a forum is it? Facebook problems start between friends, family, people who live around the member etc. It can be solved IRL. A forum is completely different. A forum problem can start between someone in Egypt and Russia and there would be no one other than a moderator to stop it.
You speak as though there is no censoring on ePVP or GameKiller or any other forum out there. There are rules, rules need to be followed, whether or not the rules are too strict or too lenient that is for the forum staff to decide.
As CrashOveride stated before: There is no such thing as freedom of speech on a forum. You agree to a set of rules when you sign up so you have to follow them or you can leave.
So the point is: Censoring is everywhere, everyone's opinion on it is different, but you can't start prosecuting people for censoring when we all have rules to follow and a job to do. If you want to help reduce censoring, then work with the moderators rather than blaming them, because we have our own rules to follow then we have to base section rules off of those as well. It's not easy trust me.
@Bold 1: Pay attention to the attachment below.
@Bold 2: Censoring is taken too far, as the majority of repliers here have stated. When people say one curse word, you have to edit the post, and leave that big "Edited by:" mark.
you kids sure have a hard time letting go of the past and moving forward.
Stop and think for a minute why this section is going down hill? It's your attitude. Its complacency.
So Dell may not love the section like you want him to. So what? The fact that a supervisor is doing a job of a mod is a rare thing in many cases.
So the mods are not on all the time. So what? They have lives. I know I did when I was one. I was a very active one though but even I couldn't catch every little thing. Yes, I believe mods that know and understand the game itself should be in charge but you can't have it all.
Give the mods some credit. Past and present mods had it tough in this section and there has been at least 10 or more mods come and go for whatever reason.
I'm not kissing here. I see it the way none of can (mods excluded).
So is this thread really about how this section can improve or how good/bad "insert mod name here" is doing.
Past is the past. Leave it be.
Encouragement.
Constructive Criticism.
Collaboration.
Confidence.
You need to study these terms because its the key to making this place a success. Not thread A or Thread B. Not Do this or that. Just those terms.
I can guarantee a 100% turnaround, not overnight, of this section.
Don't look to the mods for redemption. Look to yourselves first.
@Bold: You weren't active at all. I bet you were busy shredding them rejection papers, weren't you?
Now. Most likely, this thread will be closed/deleted by the mods, super mods, or MentaL... Might as well get this reply out before it does.
