    People are different if they talk via text. It's a psychological barrier, which prevents people from hearing responses like they are intended. I'm sure some of the major trolls on the forums must be very nice people, but if they can't behave on the forums, why would they still be here?

    Everyone on the forum knows each other, but most don't personally know each other. We know how each forum member acts via text. I'm worried that moderators would try and put a lighter punishment on people when they personally know them. I want it so that doesn't happen.

    I don't think that does happen, though. So far I haven't seen many reports as a moderator, but as a Tribune I have seen it doesn't quite happen.

    So far, I can't say I've seen lighter punishments given out based on personal relationships either. Still, I can definitely see where TheKoreanPoet is coming from, and I agree with him. Still, especially with the current set of moderators, I don't think anything like this is going to happen.

    The issue that concerns me most is people getting too worked up over the various minor issues of the forums.

    I can see where he's coming from, but I don't think we'll need more restrictions. And if so, people are free to propose it in the PA.

    When we become a larger forum, more moderators will be needed. And with that, things like this will become more apparent. I say this now to warn you on what can become a major issue later.

    Sure. If you want restrictions, go ahead and propose. I will be happy to take it to the Corner.

    Says the guy with a Mat quote in his signature. Yeah we all know his (fake) Jewishness got to you.

    Besides that I hate when people use the term RL (real life). Even though this forum is online the people who write on it are not fake just because it's on an alternate platform of communication, everything we do is in Real life. A guy who is a dick on the forums is a dick, no matter how nice he is on another platform of communication in this case meeting him face to face "real world". Same with a guy who is nice on the forums is a nice guy just by the point that he is nice. Think of it as a gamer who helps "noobs", he/she is considered nice, someone can then come with a counter statement saying he/she is a greedy bastard in "real life". This does not change the fact that said gamer is not a nice person just because said person acts different on various platforms of communication. I wish i could explain this better but then i would have to do it in Norwegian which sadly not many people would understand.

    Google translate is only acurate within the first five words of well-known languages [i.e. English to French].
    After that, its ****.

    But IS always amusing.

    But seriously, some of the stuff gets translated correctly and its free after all.

    Sorry if i wasn't phrasing it well, earlier.

    What i mean is that we don't seem to be getting many new members, who actually stay. I mean, most of them seem to post like 5-6 messages and then, are never heard from again.

    I would like to see a system stronger in 'chain of command' actually doing their title. For example Mayor and his duty as 'clan leader'

    I don't think Mayor holds any authority over the clan anymore.

    It seems as though we're completely restarting with a new staff of it.

    We're fine.

    Also, we shouldn't really trust SlyDessertFox to make threads about important things, because he immediately forgets.
