That wasn't the point of the battleground section and I can't blame zen for shutting it down. Even being unmodded it should have had some rules. It can work, but it's not going to be truly unmodded.

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.
