Wait, did my post get out right deleted there phaserlight? You could have just starred out the cuss word like Inc or whistler does. I had as much as a valid point as the person I was replying to. Well, maybe only in my opinion of course.

But if you are going to delete my posts because of a cuss word, you might want to spend a bit of time reviewing every post ever made and maybe just delete them all huh? Here's a good starting point.

Oh and quoting ROC to me? Sure thing Phaser, but I'm sure calling someone a moron might be a bit dis-tasteful to you, but it's a lot lesser than ninny according to other sources, try take perspective.

Oh come on, are we going to break out the jackboots again? We just did that a couple weeks ago, and we went through the whole censorship dance just a couple months before that (granted that one was a false alarm).

Unless somebody is consistently ignoring warnings to use clean language, outright deleting their entire post rather than simply sanitizing the offensive part is draconian. Just because you are allowed to do something doesn't mean you actually should. I've watched people go down that road, and it doesn't end well. Save yourself some headaches and don't go there.

The key to effective moderation is moderation. Show restraint. Use the minimal amount of interference necessary to accomplish a goal.

Stop whining for heaven's sake, you did not even lose a bus.

And it seems you have been warned.

"If you try pirating somebody who has never been pirated before, they're going to be a lot more proud and unwilling, so it's best to break them of that early, when it's less painful for them (no reputation to worry about, less "Never pay!" indoctrination, etc.). "

I concede a personality willing to bow down to a noob griefer is similarly pathetic. Question is if we want game mechanics that breed those two kinds of players and hamper an opposing gameplay and roelplay.

Savet: Now that would be telling. All I can say is that revenge will come, one day.
May 18, 2012 Savet link
Ok...but if the name is mine you have to tell me once you get revenge.

Savet: np. Is that like an unwritten rule of VO combat?
May 18, 2012 sjwest link
Well everything is happy in the vo forums i see.

Woodlander, it is not a VO custom to float someones boat by naming and shaming. I try to not do it myself too unless really needed. So cool. I like your RP posts too, although I haven't commented on them. Welcome to VO.

Nope. Not a custom. I am just horrible with names and sometimes find out there are vendettas against me from people I forgot I had an interaction with. So it was just curiosity.

Between this and the whole racetrack event debacle, Phaser, you're off to a super start here in your new role.

Tool.

I don't mind being called a tool, but I am here to help. If I see a post that serves little purpose other than to degrade or attack another member of the community, I won't hesitate to delete it.

Let's try and keep this on topic.

And yet you've left all of Bungarus's non-substantive posts. How nice of you.
May 18, 2012 Bungarus link
If you think something is non-substantive say why, otherwise, as I told you before, err, "go away".

Well, you can't really expect us to take a nazi seriously, can you?
May 18, 2012 Phaserlight link
M'kay, now that we've successfully proven Godwin's Law I think I'll go ahead and lock this.

I edited this thread to remove useless name-calling.
