What's the use of this forum? - Page 2

Mel, chill!

I state my opinion, is that disallowed? I think there can be big misunderstandings when discussions about a certain PBEM will be split in two forums. It will be more difficult to survey. Why take that trouble?

Another thing: the lack of moderation.

Both you and anarres strongly disappoint me here! I'm very glad that at CFC such words are censured!

Sorry, but I'm not gonna check this forum. It's double. We already have CFC.

Correction: I will read it, but not participate.

Anarres, for you I'm sorry to say this, because of course it costs/costed a lot of effort.

anarres · 15-03-2003, 17:32

Matrix,

I am sorry if you think I need to censor certain words, I really don't think I do. When you see those ****'s, can you really not know what it says anyway?

Killer pretty much summed up why I use this place in my last post.

No problem, I started it to host just my own PBEM's, and would have done it anyway.

Also I like this forum slightly better because

1) I am Moderator of my own forums, and can censor/moderate/amend the content as I like.

2) I can tell some people exactly what I think of them without my right to respond being removed. I do not like it when a moderator says "OK I understand you disagree, but I find you offensive so I will arrange it so that no-one can hear what you say".

OK?

Oh and Matrix who gives a fuck if you post here or not? I find your behaviour arrogant in the extreme, if you aint gonna post, dont post, dont post a whingy bit on how much anarres and I dissapoint you here. Who are you? My dad? Dont make me fucking laugh, I aint alive to keep you or anyone else happy. If I haven't dissapointed everyone I know then I haven't been trying hard enough.

Chill? Bollocks...
I say what I like...

Oi, this is heavy...

First of all, the moderators of CFC are doing a terrific job! In fact, I don't know any forum that has better moderators. And you are a perfect example why they are so good: because venting one's opinion in this manner is disallowed there! It's totally unnecessary and only creates a hostile environment. I don't like reading these kind of posts and if this was the common way of posting at CFC, I wouldn't come there as often.

About you finding me arrogant: please elaborate in a friendly manner! I too want to keep the atmosphere healthy. After all, the only reason we're all "together" is because we all simply like to play Civ3 and I want to continue liking that while playing with you. After all, MP is much more fun than SP and I'd be stuck with my brother and perhaps in the future my dad (no, not your granddad).

(This was something I had to react to. I first wanted to let it be, but...)

I, for one, am not comfortable with some of the language being used around here - no not the "fuck"s but the hostility behind the language.

"I say what I like"

Sure - just dont write it for everyone to read.

I dont like or want a totaly unmoderated forum and will confine myself to the pbem threads from now on.

Melifluous · 16-03-2003, 10:25

OK quick reply from me here then I'm gonna leave it before I really do end up being the first person to be banned here...

Sorry Matrix.

Simple as that, I apologise, something about your literary style annoys me, but thats my problem. I dont need to tell you all about it, and other people obviously sont like hearing it.

I will curb my youthful enthusiasm, and turn my energies to something more productive.

I am very sorry for anybody I annoyed here, I let my stupid potty mouth get the better of me.

Can we all be friends again now ?

No hard feelings, Mel!

I will try to watch my style more. I don't mean to annoy anyone just as you do.

Melifluous · 16-03-2003, 15:15

I am suffering from a rare form of foot in mouth disease.

My doctor says that I should lay off posting for a couple of days, but I just can't let down my friends
