Neo would ban half the forum. I'd say it would be a paradise, but there wouldn't be anyone to mock.

Except Neo for banning everyone!

I'm sure every mod has fucked up at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if some were even banned in the past.

pretty sure they use that one time they warned [violet] as proof that mods and that are totally equal
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

A good mod responds to trolls and reports quickly, but doesn't mess with people for little things. And also takes time to RP.

That's why. My temper gets to me sometimes.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

The problem is that I agree with them on pretty much everything.

I believe was banned briefly several years ago on one of my old accounts for spamming moderation or something like that. It was a fair judgement if I remember correctly. I said and did some stupid stuff back then.


I used to report stuff, but I don't really anymore because I grew tired of the continued leniency shown towards certain individuals who made it quite clear that they were not here to engage in civil debate. It is difficult to argue that the quality of discussions here have not declined over the last few years, and while I'm not blaming the mods for this problem, this leniency has certainly not helped any.

I had a look. Since I joined the forums (which was about a month after I joined the game) there have been 3 additions and 1 reinstatement.

How about we just remove everyones posting rights.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
