OT threads moved...

anarres · 25-05-2003, 04:52

Myself and at least one other member of this forum has been banned from CFC without cause.

The CFC mod who did it did not report it in the staff forum like they are required to do, and since we can not reply to the hate posts at CFC by a certain member there, we have removed a couple threads to a place of safety until they can be discussed rationally.

When the "mystery" bans are lifted (or at least explained) I will move the threads back to OT.

If anyone is banned from CFC and you do not get a PM from a mod at CFC, then you should PM Thunderfall. If Thunderfall subsequently supports that type of action by a mod then I hope you let us know, one way or the other.

I have PM'd TF.

I know who it is, and they got a friend to post links to threads here with accusations that we were an anti-CFC site.

Lefty is cleaning the mess at CFC, but until TF responds I am still banned.

I have spoken to another CFC mod that has checked the CFC staff forum, and there is no post about Dr Alimentado or myself being banned.

Come online and I can give you more info.

Shit ! Got ICQ# ?

I posted a reply very early this morning strongly objecting to the notion that we were an anti-CFC site, but it mysteriously disappeared.

Latest annoucement from TF (sunday 3 pm).
Col had the scoop of course, clearly Killer should become a mod

Major OT Forum Changes
Starting today AoA will no longer be a moderator on CivFanatics. This is not an easy decision for me because AoA had been with CFC for quiet long time. I appreciate all the time and effort he spent moderating the Coliseum forums. However, it's clear to me now that his moderation style is *simply not what I want* for CFC. Also, he has publicly stated that he no longer cares about the moderation and the site anymore. I wish him best of luck and hope he finds a forum that appreciates his moderation style more.

Here are a few changes you can expect. It's possible that the current OT forum may be archived. Instead, I may create two new OT forums: one for political discussions and another for more lighthearted subjects such as music and movies. This way people who don't care about the politics are not bombarded with heated debates. Some new rules for the OT forum may be introduced.

Also, we will have one (or even two) new moderators for the Colisseum forums, likely someone in a different time zone.

The OT forum may be temporarily closed during the transition.

That's it for now. Enjoy your day.

The thread itself has disappeared now - and good thing too. It was called the Off-topic good behaviour thread, in which a poster called Immortal pledgged to be a good member of the CFC community and not resort to attacks, provoked and unprovoked. He then turned around and posted links to the two CFC threads here and the one at cdgroup as an example of 'sites set up to bash CFC' in that and two other threads.
Another flamewar might very well have been the result.

Well it's too bad that some people are so self important that they would think that some forums are set up so others can bitch about them.

Anyway, I'm up to date on my current PBEM games.

Immortal has been gunning for me in a thread at the FFZ site. I'm now permabanned from there it seems.
