could you make a list of where the majority of the mods publically disrespect the forum users in general?
Are you saying that it is fine for some mods to talk behind regular forum users backs rather than in public?...that is even lower than saying it outright.

no
for example, if you are in a alliance war, have you never said something disrespectful about one of the opponents to an ally in a private message or on a private forum? that is how the mod section was meant to be... private...
"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

You really don't get it? I think it makes prefect sense. Let me try to translate it from mod to english:
Yes, we (the mods) did outright lie to the community about the ingame benefits we were demanding. Yes, we did call forum users jerks and trolls. Yes, we came up with some really great plan of posting some pro-mod propaganda using forum multies just to fool the community some more. But since we never did this all in public and you were never supposed to find out, it is almost like t never happened. Reality is what we tell you it is and only we know the truth and we are able to create rules at will to show you what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad.

geisha, could you please stop using those terrible online translator programs?
that is nowhere near what we meant to say, and if you use the brain we're 100% sure you have, you know that... (if we had meant insult by the previous sentence, we would have used a number below 100%... so dont think this is meant as an insult...)
how many people can you find, that have never, ever said anything disrespectful about anyone, at any time in their life, both private and publically? (infants and newborns do not count)

Re: why the mods REALLY made this section
well, now it sounds more like: "everybody makes mistakes but we are the ones who decide who will be punished and who won't."
One question though: if you weren't trying to excuse what happened with the fact that it was meant to stay private, what else where you trying to say with

that is how the mod section was meant to be... private...

Re: why the mods REALLY made this section
Not at all Jake, but thanks for your kind words.
I am trying to point out that those who scream about double standards and everything else in this section, and threads in the general section don't really have a leg to stand on.
How can someone say a word is being overused on the forum, and then a month later have absolutely no problem in its use? It seems "funny" to me.

Because there is a diference between "use" and "over use", I thought any idiot knew that...
