Heh. Yeah. The irony is thick.
Does this not prompt the question: "Moderation? Is it best self-applied, or externally imposed?" "Self-applied" is my preferred answer, and works pretty darned well throughout this org place. But lacking that in the ebt, 'externally applied' prevailed.
Frankly, I am surprised that you all are surprised. Swearing? Ppffft. You guys don't know the first thing about it.
Burnt cats, cartoon orgies, headless cadavers. I mean c'mon. YOU should have nuked the place yourselves. But you didn't. So the grown-ups had to do it for you. With predictable results.
Can you not see the ultimate consequence? Think ahead a day or week or month ahead?
Given what
could have been the fate of the group, I would say they got off lucky, compared to the treatment they'd've likely received
anywhere else on the 'net, including /4/chan.
And why is that?
Because, in this place, this totalwar-dot-org place, EVERYone has a valued voice. The newbie and the 10-year veteran have the same ability to solve a problem. Because each LISTENS to the other, with respect. So, members are given a time-out, vs a ban.

So, what have we learnt from this exercise - exorcise-ism?
1) This is a nice place, where nobody gets ignored, about totalwar, as a game and/or a concept
2) This nice place has politeness/civility rules.
3) Those rules get enforced as problems arise
