Quirites.

The quality of this forum has declined rapidly over the past couple of months. I have long held that I avoid closing or editing threads, yet I've done so more in the last month than in the prvious 6. That is not a happy state of affairs. I'm also in the happy position of having Nelson at my side and and assistant moderators to back us up. That I should be wielding the stick more often is, under these circumstances not a good thing.

Some things for you to bear in mind.

1) Trolling, flaming and baiting are verboten anywhere on .org. Some of the behaviour in here recently would shame the backroom - where one would expect a more rowdy atmosphere. All such behaviour will cease. If you cannot post in this forum on a subject directly pertaining to a game, then do not post. If you feel a question can only be answered by some iteration of 'Dude you're shit' then keep your opinion to yourself.

2) If you have a question then please provide enough information to enable other patrons to respond seperately' why do I keep losing/' is not gonig to help you. Treat this as a version of the apothecary. You can't be helped without full specs there.

3) Stay on topic, leave any vendettas at the door

4) There are undeniably some great mods out there. This is why they have their own forums - use them. Again the people posting there are better suited to help you with any issues, and they are the reevant part of .org. This is not the place for pissing contestests about which mod is better

5) Controlled and reasoned criticism of the game is fine, abuse of the developwers is not, and will not be tolerated.


I will edit, and I will warn for infringements until we've established some sort of order. I do not want to wield my moderating stick, but if the current situation continues I will feel no compunction in doing so. I have PMd this link to several of you who I feel might benefit from reading it.

Feel free to ask any questions. I'm sure Nelson will add some suggestions. All this really requires is an adult attitude and a modicum of fore thought. What a crazy experiment...
