Rants, Flames, and NSFW

[Eunomia]

We weren't allowed to deal you in. There were guidelines to follow. I've been deleting for a week, quietly. Didn't ban anyone. Tried not to disrupt. You noticed Tuesday.

I do not power trip here, ever. My self importance is not affected by this game, this forum, this server.

I help for the following reasons. I have no other hidden agenda:

1) I love Everquest
2) I love Project 1999
3) I want everyone to love Everquest and Project 1999.
4) Over my 18 months on staff, I have come to love and respect those managing this project. I would wish for all of you to love and respect them also, but I don't think I have the ability to convince you.
5) And of course I love all of you because I know you do love Everquest and Project 1999.

Would have saved a lot of grief and wondering why it was all going on. Instead we get Sikorsky with his "well I hope you're all proud of yourselves" comment as if we were meant to have known.

Communication saves bans, hurt feelings and offers a mutual respect which puts everyone on the same page...deal us in next time <3

We shouldn't need to explain ourselves about why we would like our own website to look less like 4chan. You should simply respect our decision to clean things up. It shouldn't have taken an agreement with Daybreak to push this.

Agreed that you shouldn't need to explain the reasoning behind changes....I think the point is that had some guidelines for change been published, at least people would have had the opportunity to correct themselves and it probably would have saved Eunomia (and potentially others) some time on the cleanup legwork they were doing.

After 4-5 years where everything was fine, then suddenly we get censored and modded out of nowhere... people were going to ask questions.

Sorry that it came across in such a negative way. Just saying that an announcement would have saved a lot of this fallout.

Bottom line: If we don't like what Rogean and server staff are doing, we can foxtrot oscar. This is their project, and we are guests.

I get that and I'm not trying to say otherwise, I'm just trying to put recent events in perspective from those of us who read the forums a lot.

I'm confused by this general sentiment. The staff has to walk on eggshells to make sure that all of you feel respected and dont get any hurt feelings, but the reason your feelings are hurt is because you can't post whatever offensive material you want that may show disrespect to others and hurt their feelings. Not a jab at you personally Swish, but just the RnF community in general.
If anyone is ever offended by a post in RnF they are quickly told "how the internet works", and that they need to grow up and quit crying. But take away the privilege to post offensive material and its all about respect and feelings. Quite hypocritical.

[Swish]

I'm not against change given the backdrop of what's going on, and I think everyone else understands why its happened...but this forum (RNF particularly) represented something you couldn't find in many other places, and that's something worth speaking up for...otherwise we're stuck with Epicemu style forums which were so sanitized they weren't worth visiting.

Personally I feel like an asshole for contesting the mods over the last few days...and it came out of just not knowing why the moderation was getting so heavy handed. For that I apologize, as I'm sure a few others do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I doubt they will be able to totally cleanse our boards. I think the staff are more rustled than us about this. I welcome the change.
