I think she's throwing illogical hatred at you for attempting to have her banned for calling you a traitor. But that's just a guess...

Poor guess, if you look back, she threw that same hatred at me long before that banning.
BTW. I thought it was against the rules to misquote, that is why I reported her in the first place....
I was wrong

roflmao Piano, point me to the Pi members who have nominated you.. Oh, that's right, there are none.
Also, do you really think I am mad at you for massing my noobish 1 million army account years ago? Like seriously, I have been massed many times and am having a good laugh with the guys who did it.
I simply think you are scum (in-game and role playing wise of course).
Now could you please stop derailing this topic with your personal propaganda? Semper started a great and important topic here.
Disclaimer: Any comments directed at players of this game ONLY apply to their in-game role playing character but never to them personally. Terms like "destruction", "ownage", "killing", "rape", "retard", "traitor", "scum" or anything alike will only be used as a reaction on in-game actions of their virtual role playing character controlling virtual troops. Nothing said in my posts will ever target anyone personally since it would simply be impossible to get personal with people I don't even know personally.

The spam temple seems to be less childish at the moment......
i think that if anyone has a problem with a mod,they should try and discuss it with someone that can help them and not try to make such a deal out of it! unless its a last resort!
and its already steering off topic again.......
if you two are having personal problems,discuss it yourselves or in another thread!
lets try to keep on topic from now on! please........

Because when I realized that she was banned for another reason, it was undone. Besides, I plan to suggest that altering quotes should be against the rules. As it is putting someone else's words in your mouth.
As for ombudsman, I will try my best if I win. Honestly, I think Kill will win, and do a good job. But I think I would do as good.
I understand you are sticking up for your useless alliance co, so please keep it on topic...Or create a "Hate pianomutt" thread.. That would be fun.
Bill
BTW Geisha,
You are correct, I applogize and retract...It was a member of mayhem, and a few of alpha
So please geisha, let him get on with the topic without your mod-hating propaganda

Yeah I'm sorry, but given your track record - from this post alone - to manipulate the truth, I'm not going to believe you.
Seems Smooshable did say that, but I don't believe he meant it. I think he was joking.
My apologies to Geisha for calling her a lier.

please keep on topic guys and gals. Its always good to digress to a degree, but the problems of the great war are not problems of this thread. geisha and bill.
The situation this thread is about is the moderating team, and the current ignorance to any shades of grey...etc etc.
@Those who say "people dont understand mods......"
I understand full well what problems a mod can face. Surprisingly, its not an excuse. The inability to deal with all of this things one must face as a mod, just goes to show one thing. They shouldnt be a mod, if they cannot face it and react to it properly, without being en extreme of some description.
The problem with the signatures should not be a problem. The entire thing should have been dealt with respectfully and quickly. As it so happens, the entire issue was debated over for days, and the backlash of it is still being felt to this day, months later and has reached the point where a certain SIMPLE word has been banned!!! Not to mention the idea of "banning all sigs for the duration of the war" good grief. I am not going to deny the community played a large role in that situation, but so did the inadequacies of a unorganised and dreadfully put together mod team, and at this point, only one of the two can be pheasably changed.

if this is a last resort for the people,then they should have a specific problem to say,i know there was a few mentioned,but if they have gone to the mods or admins and got it sorted,then why still complain.
i do agree with certain points,but it seems to have been blown out of preportion in some parts!
if the problem is sorted,then what is the there to complain about,if you believe that there is a mod that is doing a really bad job in particular,bring it up with the administrators and they will sort out there problem!

I am a moderator, but I mainly reply to this as a member of the community.
The recent events have been childish and immature. I tried to get a serious discussion going, but it proved to be pointless. The fact of the matter is, the JANUS PACT was turned into a punny play on words. Having fun with it should have been expected by any native english speaker. Some people do not know where to draw the line, especially on the internet. Instead of having the laugh of two, some people carried the joke on too far. IMHO, the FUALL mercs' tagline was funny. But, instead of people having their moments of humor, decided to complain about it. The issue was compounded when non-native speakers came into the mix.
Secondly, the issue with mods issuing too many warnings... Mods will not have to issue many warnings if users know where to draw the line. Also, when you have non-native speakers issuing warnings about the English language, that may not be the best of ideas.
It happens everywhere. Politics, sports, work places, and online internet forums. Problems will keep piling up, one on top of another until it becomes too much to bear, at which point it will all come crashing down in a massive uproar. It can only be avoided is by the community, more so the major alliances, trying to make changes for the better.

i think he should have gotten a warning!
its not ok to go around to calling people offensive names like that,no matter the circumstances! it may not be a curse word but can be quite offensive to the receiver and to other people that may be reading it!
i also think the mods are doing a decent job,some may make mistakes and bad judgements,but we all have our bad days!
we just have to accept it and move on! stop making such a big deal!
if you have a serious problem,bring it up with admin or someone higher up than the problem,otherwise stop complaining!

Well I'm 90% sure Auriel isn't a retard. So I don't see how she would get insulted or anything from that. TBH, I seriously don't see how anyone could be insulted by that. Yeah if you take this game wayyyy to seriously I can see where someone would be like "omg, this dude I will never meet in my life called me a retard. He's only 1 person out of 6 billion people in the world, but I really care about what he says and I'm offended." If you think like that you need a life.
And Geisha, I like the disclaimer so I am going to put it in my posts as well.
