I agree. But I don't think the behavior of some of the forum participants in the modded sections warrants a reward of this type at the moment.
Perhaps the warning system should be replaced with just a 24-hour forum suspension for the first offense and 1-week suspension for each additional offense. Warnings don't seem to work anymore for a small group here, and it will probably have to negatively affect everyone for it to sink in. It's almost like having a warning level is a source of pride now.
I don't mind the smack-talk and humor. But reading the forums nowadays is practically a waste of time. Drama is fine. Posting on the forums is not a right, it's a privilege. I don't like revoking this privilege from anyone, but it's becoming difficult to stick with this mindset.
The inconsistencies are my fault. I asked the mods to use their judgement, and each moderator has a different way to look at it.

It sucks top be sleeping during the discussions hahaha
I wanted to add 1stly, I'm aware of the forum rules. In fact, no bashing is a forum rule (which is clearly not followed, and thank the humor gods for that). Then once in a while some modding is done for one insult but not another. This inconsistency is kinda ridiculous
2ndly, DejaVu, I do read the same forums as you do... I just wanted to be nice about it. Put out the idea that people "could" have fun and still be responsible for themselves. (Dick jokes, your momma jokes, etc. are not immature so much as simple. If that's as good as you can lay out a joke, who can blame you for at least trying?
)Finally, from what I've read it seems that there needs to be some sort of guideline Zen can make that is very explicit in what a mod can or should mod. Due to people being unable to play harmoniously in the battleground section, either the general forum needs to be bashless
or there just needs to be a proper system which is clear to everyone involved. What do you think though forum?
If we can have our fun, what should the limits be. What should be modded and what kinda drek should we be able to toss around freely. Should the silly s*** be limited to it's own forum (yet under some limits clearly), to free up the forum proper for things that are more in point about the game? For all that I love the bashing, I agree with Zen that it can be annoying to sift through a ton of crap just to get to any relevant information.

brining RL drama to forums = bannable?
and too much AL drama also?
RE: Attn Mods - Echothrice - 2010.Apr.13 09:25 AM
A certain level of drama can be quite entertaining...so long as people remember that this is a game and they shouldn't flip out over relatively minor things. There is, and should be, a requirement of some form of decorum. This game is pg13, and I seem to recall that to sign up for the game you had to state that you were 13...or that a parent had stated that for you. As such, I see no reason to block most of the petty name calling that occurs.
On the other hand, kiddy porn definitely shoots straight past the other side of the line. Intentionally posting the lewdiest, most disgusting things you can think of goes past the line. Calling someone gay....not so much.
Overall, I'd say the mods do a pretty good job. There are some convo's in the forum that seem to be missing a participant at times due to their subject content, but hey, drek happens.
