Well I've not been posting on the mp forums because it seems I can't express an anti-"rome and m2 suck, stw rules all" opinion without getting warned, but the sticky I just saw is ridiculous and TBH just shows the topic creator doesn't understand the context at all.

Thats the thread.

The quote comes from:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=78597

Note how all replies to the thread were joking and everyone understand YM is just a charismatic guy. I quoted it in my sig because it truly made me lol, I found it funny. Other people quote others in their signatures. Why should I do not be allowed to do the same.

Please also note how despite this big announcement, the moderator fails to even see where the quote has came from (since s/he hasn't even posted in the thread itself), and thus totally fails to grasp the context.

I'm sorry but what sort of modding is it that you say "this sort of stuff is absolutely not tolerable"...but not even know where the quotes from and to not say something in the thread.

Furthermore YM posted that quote one whole month before the mod even said anthing, I mean was this big announcement just because s/he was bored or what.

I would also like to add the quote was removed from my signature and the rest of the code the mod screwed up and just left without even PMing me saying "I'm not sure how to fix it, apologies"...they just carried on as normal which I find rude.

To close, I want to point out if the quote would have been another one of YM's quotes such as:

Noob A new player to the game who lacks the skill and knowledge of an experienced player. Noob is a term that is not defined by time, but by skill. A player who has been playing the game for a long time can still be a noob.

Then I'm almost positive nothing would have came from it, its purely because the vets don't like it that theres actually some new playeras of mp of the org who arn't still playing on their commodore 64s. The mp section stinks of anti-m2 players. Allowing us to elect AMs was a good step, however you should have done the same with the actually mod position because someone from the mp community would have looked at that thread, understood the context, has a laugh, and moved on.
