Shout out to the forum moderators!
It ain't easy keeping the official boards clear of useless clutter, trash, and spam threads. You are multiple appendages of the "man" be it his ear to listen to the community, his mouth to communicate information, or even his rear for which trolls can kiss. It's a thankless job requiring a level of self-restraint many couldn't possibly fathom and you all do it with amazing grace and ease. So I just wanted to say thank you for doing the job I would not want in a thousand years and keep up the good work.

On a side note.. .are there processes in place to protect mods, like a "Three Strikes and your Out" rule? I know that isnt the case, but wondered if there is a habitual offender rule that is underwritten somewhere? That would make your jobs a lot easier.
I can only imagine how irritating it is to warn someone repeatedly about the same thing.
Yep, @Sleepwell there is, of sorts

It's called Carol's Last Nerve Rule
we can only hope

just to clarify this isn't bashing its just friendly game banter.

Well it's fair to disagree with certain rules or it's implication, however your comment is a fine example of "bashing". Note: If I decide to call a chair a desk, it doesn't make it a desk. Like that is not a friendly game banter just because you call it that.
Oh, before you ask what, lets not act like none knows what "MF'rs" stand for. Rest of it is fine.

They said it can, whether they feel anyone's forum conduct has warranted such action has yet to be seen.
It would be really hilarious when people get banned for posting on a forum but all the cheaters that affect in game play run rampant. Its also funny we have people who are admining this forum but cant get any CSR's in the actual game. #priorities

Mods are volunteers. CSRs are not unless I'm mistaken.

If they are volunteers they should have no way to affect an in game account period. Nor should they have any right to admin the official forum.

when at the end of the day everyone is being just the same rude to each other as the other, if your not gonna let 1 person be rude don't let anyone, you have to stop picking and choosing who is allowed to talk **** and be rude all day freely, and who cannot, when besides 1-2 lil words they are doing the exact same thing...and the refusal of staff to treat everyone the same is grossly unprofessional and disgusting
like nate, he makes a post about his group having fun in rvr, then people come and make fun of him and he says somethin to get banned, now would nate say those things is those people didn't come to EVERY single thread EVERY single day EVERY single time he makes one harassing him first ?
you have to stop punishing the people your not fond of and let others do the same thing over and over with no punishment, or step down from your positions out of respect for those of us who still love and care about this game
its a video game, ban cheaters and let the rest play out ;\ if someone is that out of line you can throw a random perma ban and end it, but this everyday lil monitoring **** is a joke, we aren't 5 year olds grow up
its just a game on the internet, 1 that happens to be about the dark ages and war and battle and chaos, what do you expect people who come post pictures of flowers and say good job for beat me ? -_-
Nate baits and people bite. I agree that those who fuel the fire are part of the problem; however, that does not dismiss his trolling behavior. The best course of action has been and always will be: don't feed the troll(s).
On a side note, his YouTube account is closed. Unclear of the reason but it came shortly after bashing a player live streaming his Relic shenanigans.
Regardless, I think the mods are doing a good job keeping people in check. This includes the unnecessary responses to Nate's baiting.

Choices have consequences. There are pretty clear lines that, if crossed, yield consequences. Why should someone that elects to cross those lines not suffer the punishment they risk? I too would find issue if everyone was being equally vile yet only certain people were punished, however that is not the case and to claim otherwise is to ignore reality.
It's always amusing to see the, "we're all adults" argument while at the same time complaining that people aren't being allowed to engage in childish behavior.
that's how I take it, and that's how the people sayin it are meaning it to be
but that's ok right ? someone says something dumb and I say "are you an idiot lol?" and Im instantly banned ?
but someone calls someone the shittiest worst noob they ever seen every single day for months and nothin, but if the person reponds they are the ones banned for personal attack ? lol
they let brutal rudeness go by dependin who is sayin it, and ban for way less for others, the way things are being ran by the leadership here is just atrocious, and unfortunetly for people who care about daoc, deeply sad
Banter vs. direct attacks has already been addressed in a previous thread. I'm not sure how you're interpreting 7k nate as a personal attack when it all it does is reflect his RP earnings. This is comparable to saying "you suck" which has been cleared by the mods.

It's not a personal attack, it would be classified as baiting/trolling.

shrugs all of the adults I know don't get upset and start whining and crying and throwing fits when someone they are playing a game with starts busting their chops about losing
only children do that
It very well may be. Only the mods can make that call. If the player base isn't happy with how posts are regulated, then they should send in feedback and/or move to another forum whose mods align with their views.

im just tryin to point out how rude everyone else is aswell, even more then the person banned, sometimes you have to stop thinkin about your own self and look at it from a far
I don't care if hes banned, I just keep it real ;\ its my fault in life
very strongly agree, I hope they have legal binds atleast, you don't need some salty person who isn't very good at the game volunteering to baby sit the forums and **** on the people he doesn't like in game or cant beat ect and ruining their daoc experience out of revenge, ive been banned here 9/10 times by the same mod, for stuff other people say freely, I just assumed it was ciddire from psotcount because he did the same there
this is a dyeing game, we don't need volunteers suppressing the population ;\

The people being constantly banned are yourself and nate, I'd say the mods have got it spot on, I got a mild warning for baiting and trolling, but I have not been banned, I do not use bad language on the official forums and I do not bring real life targeted comments either. Stick within the rules and you'll be fine, you're not as bad as Nate, he gets bans back to back, I find it weird people get banned multiple times, learn from the warning and act accordingly.

I have received a warning myself and endeavored to avoid the same manner of comments that earned me that warning. Seems to me that those repeatedly banned appear to be the saltiest in regards to the mods. But I agree, this thread was started with the purpose of giving the forum mods a nod. I would encourage you to start a separate thread for forum mod critique, though you do so at your own risk.
In your opinion others are being more rude. I have a feeling others would disagree. Nevertheless, mods exist to make that judgement and Carol has oversight and the ability to correct any judgement she disagrees with. There exists sufficient oversight, in my opinion, to guard against unjust bans. I do not feel abuse of power has occurred in this instance.
