    I would have caught it eventually, Raistlin. While many of the threads I dislike because of the direction it takes, I do try to check everything. However, I'm busy with other things, and I don't have the time to read through pages upon pages of essay-like posts, especially when A) I've other things that need to be taken care of and B) the posts are incredibly incoherent. I do check things, but much of the moderation in this forum is reliant upon the warn button, by virtue of the fact that there are so many threads and posts, and the fact that we all have other things (like real jobs) that also occupy our time. Some of the mods might be able to use a computer at their work, I don't personally have that luxury and can only do it when I have the time to go home and get online.

    You know, sometimes when Staff isn't feeling particularly plucky over a period of weeks, the entire forum gets a little crazy and a little crappy. Should we delete the whole of EoFF because of that? No, because things straighten out.

    Honestly, my opinion on EoTW is as follows; open your eyes, and pull the stick out your butts, and everything will be okie dokie.

    However, you guys want the stick forcibly removed by staff. But you don't want it to hurt, either! If we do go in there and try to clean up, you'll all scream soci-economic-political bias and run crying back over here. Poor babies.

    Grit your teeth.

    doesn't the forum self moderate anyway? if you think it's filled with morons then you're not going to use it. and if you're not using it you won't see any of the morons and so can't whine. yes maybe some people should just shut up half the time but meh they have their say as much as anyone else.

    and i use the warn button a wee bit.

    This I happily accept as an answer. The rest of you: forgive me if I find something wrong with "I don't want to look in this forum, so I'll let it run itself."

    Pull the stick out of our butts? What if some of us actually want the stick to stay in our butts? I personally feel that staff should get involved to solve some problems if things get out of hand. The staff is like the police, they keep things under control. Warning people is like giving out tickets. Banning people is like the ultimate punishment similar to going to jail/prison. When there is a riot going on, the police do their job to keep it under control in person. It should be similar with the threads when it gets out of hand with the name callings, etc, that's not allowed. The staff should keep it under control by checking out the posts and giving warnings to offenders, even if it means putting in a "off topic" post. A simple OOC tag should be enough to difference the posts, or you can warn people by PM. However, in-thread warns are a good way to gain the offender's attention, rather than PMing them. By deciding to ignore EoEO, the staff is letting the problem grow, which would not fix itself up. How will the problem fix itself, if the members are not aware of what they're doing?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
