Cleaning Up Our Collective Act

[Judgement]

These forums simply need a moderator. My experience in-game is appreciably different than my experience on these forums. Almost everyone is cool in game...even some of the most reprehensible folks from the forums.

It's clear that enforcement of the rules clearly set forth aren't being carried out because the devs don't have time to do it, nor, I will venture, do they want to deal with the liability of disciplining all but the most overt offenses. Or perhaps other reasons which aren't important.

I believe this community is a good enough community to deserve that kind of discipline. Not censorship, but a simple shedding of the chaff.

I think we should choose a moderator, with the devs' blessing, or accept one of their choosing. I believe that moderation's scope ought to be expanded beyond the obvious unnecessary drivel to include posts which promote the server's endangerment, such as blatant mention of torrented clients, and the like.

We cannot expect every follower of p1999 to behave intelligently, therefore it would be wise to extend the free service of moderation to them.

If anyone has thoughts or suggestions of candidates, it might be worth mentioning.

I guess I just still don't see there being some huge issue here.

[Finawin]

I guess there is if you're a massive bitch who can't handle the rigors of everyday life, and the internet in general.

This thread is specifically about racist, sexist and bigoted comments on the forums.

If you are pro racist, bigotry or sexism please feel free to explain to us why.

Frankly I can't fault anyone for their views, for whatever reason, and likewise I wouldn't fault someone for expressing them regardless of how controversial they may be. Ignorance is really its own punishment, anyway.

I don't know anyone here well enough to determine if I'm in the midst of legitimate racists or homophobes or what have you, but I kind of wish I was because they'd have to be more fun to read than you bunch of sorry gaytards.

That's brilliant homes, you rock on.

[Elendae]

You've obviously missed the point.

[Finawin]

I've missed absolutely nothing. The onset of this wave of bitches is disgusting.

I like to kill and pillage on EQ but these letters on my screen are offensive. That false sense of morality is fucking retarded and pathetic.
