Don't pretend you're concerned about "other serious offenses"!!!! You playing Wyatt Earp is a bit ridiculous.

Listen: If you don't care about what goes on in here then do us all a favour and stay out of the conversations that discuss just that. It only makes sense and it will help make you seem like less of the roaring hypocrite that you are.

Get real and grow a pair.

I was banned well over a week ago and I did not make one complaint to the administrators, the moderators or to the general public about the removal of my few posts or the three-day banning I received. If I were them, I would have banned me also. I have no idea what you're talking about or what you are basing your argument on. Communicating with you is an exercise in futility and repetition.
In conclusion, I direct you to the following link:

Here's another question for you:
What type of behaviour is more detrimental to the site?
a) Cussing in the forums; or
b) Sending threats to users to hack into their computers and/or release personal information on them.
Which of these two would most likely cause you to leave the site? Which of these two issues is not being addressed by the site administrators? Why is that?
Why compare her awful crimes to "cussing in the forums"? Your head, being filled with air, is pretty transparent.
Originally posted by no1marauderBecause that is where the priorities of the site admin lie with regards to these forums as is obvious with their recent announcement. I, for one, find one offense to be far more detrimental than the other and I was posing the question to see if I was the only one. Tu comprends?

Originally posted by no1marauderAlso, I don't agree that threatening another user with hacking into their computer, releasing personal and private information, etc. is trivial. I can't imagine that you would either.

Originally posted by darvlayThe Site Admins have removed people in the past for "unreasonably harrassing another member of the site". Whether making some threats in the forums is enough for that is dubious. We have people threatening physical harm to others occasionally, but this is an internet forum where such baloney is routine.Screeching for more and more moderation is counterproductive to the whole purpose of these forums. So stop yer pouting, Snookums.

Originally posted by shavixmirWe've went over this many times, Shav and you're either being completely disingenous or have ingested the really good drugs today that wipe out memory. Some TOS rules are firm (i.e. multiple accounts, engine use, etc.), some are subject to interpretation (i.e. what is "offensive" what is "unreasonably harassing", etc.). That's the way it is written.
I have to agree with Darvlay.
It is hypocritical to want to REALLY enforce one part of the TOS bible, and not another.
Originally posted by no1marauderYou're a fool. Plain and simple.

And I'm not at all asking for more moderation. Stop putting words in my mouth AGAIN.
Originally posted by darvlayI would regard someone threatening things like that in an internet forum as trivial, yes. I would regard them actually doing it as possibly serious, depending on what exactly they did. KnightWulfe posted a bunch of our e-mail addresses without our permission from the Medieval Diplomacy game; I asked that the post be removed but not that "something be done" further. Actually hacking would be very serious, the other stuff would depend.
Also, I don't agree that threatening another user with hacking into their computer, releasing personal and private information, etc. is trivial. I can't imagine that you would either.
Originally posted by darvlayYou're asking for the Site Admins to "do something" about "threats" of a certain sort in the Forums. How is this NOT asking for more moderation??
