I am slightly amused by your inflammatory comments regarding Mods and GW staff given the very nature of this thread. That'll get em on side!
There is always such a push for more regulation in the game and on the forum. I can't for the life of me figure why.
I would hazard that at this stage, the relative influx of newer players is small. Thus any regular members that make inflammatory comments should be taken aside, and spoken to by their peers. I'll be perfectly honest, the vast majority of forum posters, especially when it comes to heated discussions (read: blatent ego battles) the vast majority of content in the thread would easily be banned if mods took to literal interpretations of every term and condition.
Evidence: Every
NORM war/vendetta thread ever.
If it gets incredibly out of hand, a complaint, followed by moderator action. But isn't this what normally happens? Considering I've been lurking on this forum for five years now, though I have really only taken to posting recently, I have always found most mods highly reasonable.
(remember disagreeing doesn't necessarily mean mods are out of control power trippers like the current trend of posts seem to be suggesting)
I hate to take the condescending approach, but doesn't feeding into any hatred, or taking offence to any post immediately satisfy the author? Feeding trolls means they win.
I mean if someone is literally stupid enough to give voice to hate speech (if indeed it is deemed hate speech), again, Complaint -> Formal Warning -> Failure to comply = Ban.
Sounds to me like you just want some more interventionist moderators (oxymoron I know!), which I tend to be against on principle.
And to be fair terms like immoral, and justice are both loaded terms. Justice synonym for popular revenge, and immoral carries so many negative connotations.
