Re: Forum Update #2

yeah rules are rules

But if they are the rules, we gotta stick to them I guess.

rules can also be stupid and made for stupid reasons

regardless of the way i feel about a rule it is still my job to enforce them as a moderator

Once upon a time, this was the rule everyone followed. Politics and religion were never discussed in polite company, and never with strangers. They are the two things in life almost everyone has a strong opinion about.

i am glad that shit is over

LoL!

If you are a "Moderator, GM, or Seer" you can do whatever you want. I'm just coming off a ban for having, "Bad Manners." The only text I got about the ban? "Fucking learn some manners!"
Funny? Maybe, but it's thier forum so roll with the punches or go find another forum.

Re: Forum Update #2

Anyway, I think this rule is bullshit the way it is just stated blankly without any explination of why it had to be implemented. If you want a supporting community, I don't understand why you wouldn't let them know more about your decisions. I mean the players use the boards more than you do, so why wouldn't you let them make the decsion?

I wouldn't speak like this to someone if I was a guest in their home.

Re: Forum Update #2

So, in other words, we can't talk about real life issues any more? May I ask why this is needed? Next it will be "You can no longer talk about real events any longer. We will only permit those that occur secured within the ever-so-solid walls of UO. In other words, the ones that we can control and relate to, always."

The reasons and counter-points are obvious... or should be.

Probably because we aren't the ones forking out the cash to keep it running.

Re: Forum Update #2

hehe it's always tricky when you are running a community with what rules and regulations to put in place. It's not all black and white, there are shades of grey. I look forword to seeing what exactly Ryan was talking about.

Re: Forum Update #2

Since it's totally our choice to click and read any single thread made here, and to post or respond, I'm guessing it didn't have anything to do with the posters or players. Ryan must have been getting flack from other venues he can't discuss.
