i believe most countrys now have a human rights style law in place, and one of the things paramount is the right to appeal

but here we cannot appeal a decision, we have to swallow our pride

i believe very strongly if u take a group of mature adults and treat them as children, well sooner or later they will react like children

we as posters are not the only ones who make mistakes, the mods are not superhuman and are as guilty as we are with getting swept away in the heat of the moment

i dont see any rules relating to how a mod can behave, is it acceptable for a mod to slap a perm ban on someone as they dont like the tone etc, as has happened in the past

i thought the rules were to help us and the mods, but these rules are all one sided. its all we cant post xyz. where are the rules to say whats acceptable from a mod.

EDIT: i got the mental image of a middle ages lord of the manor hanging out in his big castle looking at his minions while writing up the local laws lol

As stated before, if it's not listed in the rules as prohibited, then you are free to discuss it. Which means about 99.999% of anything you could possibly want to discuss can be discussed in the appropriate forum.

I personally don't like "the you may not do this or that" as i assume that we all know what common sense is, at least should. I like more the self sensorship. Adapt to the community you are in and at least try to be nice to each other.
Freedom of speach is a great thing, lots of people faught for it, i hate to see that gone on forums.
As for privacy, of course dont reveal information you got without permission. But as all private information is not allowed, then why ask for private information such as real life gender or location, as that is private information too. Aren't you breaking the rules the moment you ask for an account that way?

ah i was expecting rules for each side

for example a mod could temp ban but would need a admin to perm ban etc

the problem i have is interpritation, for example previously i have had a mod accuse me of making a persoanl attack on them, when it was infact them reacting badly to other situations, but following these rules as a inocent i would be banned and have to, as skam says, swallow our pride

i am not trying to have a pop, but if we need to follow the "forum code" then it would be reasonable to have a set of rules the mods must follow, especialy with some of the over enthusiastic modding we have seen recently

"As stated before, if it's not listed in the rules as prohibited, then you are free to discuss it. Which means about 99.999% of anything you could possibly want to discuss can be discussed in the appropriate forum."


One of the point I addressed as did others, is that you can not disagree with a MOD. You can not post a public reply if you think they are wrong. Therefore, 'freedom of speech' does not really exist. If a Mod or Admin, say you are wrong, then you must shut up or face a deletion of your post or a ban.

Am I missing something?

I do

However it would also be nice to talk with players/friends from Entropia to see what other games they are playing. Ive seen this on many other game forums where friends from one type of game get together to form clans/guilds/societies in other games. They continue to pariticpate in both. Infact many times this has meant hardcore players from "the other" game taking a look at the game where these players originate from which would actually benefit Entropia

It can also be said, that rather than block a leak and wait for the pressure to build up and explode it is better to have a release valve avoiding the inevitable explosion
