Why did you come to a classic Everquest pvp server?

Well I can understand where you're coming from, forum spam is never a good thing. But I mean, he's just about the only dude who wants something done around here, especially on a server where players directly compete with eachother. Maybe instead of saying Harrison should stop talking about it, the problem could be solved leaving nothing for Harrison to talk about? Would probably get some new players that enjoy an even playing field, which I'm sure is just about every one. 'less dey aint got no game nahmean?

Now I'm really going back to lurking. haha

I am absolutely certain that the staff is very well aware of Harrison's viewpoint on how red99 should be policed. I am sure that all of the staff, and the vast majority of players, are in agreement with his suggestion that people who cheat should be punished.

If it were as simple as that, I doubt many people would have much problem with him. Unfortunately, he is very concerned with labeling certain guilds and communities of players as entirely detrimental to the server, due to some members within those groups having broken the rules in the past(most of whom have already been punished for said actions).

I disagree strongly with Harrison's suggestion that all players from Nihilum, Holocaust, and VZTZ are cheating rejects. Despite the tensions between players of opposing guilds, the players currently on red99 are generally good people, helpful players, and would like to see the server succeed.

It's not a matter of asking Harrison to 'stop talking about it', in your words. It would be more akin to asking him to 'talk constructively about issues, and take ideas up with people who are in positions to make change.'

However, after reading his posts for several weeks and seeing much more negativity from him than anything positive(he does occasionally say constructive things, but the bad far outweighs the good), I decided to put him on ignore. Less patient people put him on ignore far earlier.

And of course, by antagonizing large sections of the server community, Harrison brought upon himself the kind of trolling which now clutters the forums, and which you rightfully point out.

As for your last point, the 'playing field' of the server is kept even to a reasonable degree thanks to the efforts of the P99 staff. It's not a perfect system, but it functions. (edit: although, there are certainly some things that could use some work.)
