Hey Scud

[Steel God]

I've always been a fan of simple, tried and true moderation.

The rules have NEVER been vague and are not currently. The rules are that the Ladder Commander makes the Rules. Which means you do what he asks or you lose your membership for a while or forever. That's as clear and unambiguous as can be.

So, when the Moderator PMs, emails, or posts on a thread that something should be toned down, deleted, avoided, etc etc etc. That's what you do. If you don't heed the warning, you take a break. It really is that simple in my mind.

So, you posts your posts, and you takes your chances. If Scud or Toni see something they don't like they'll let you know. When they do that you ignore it at the risk of your privileges here. Nothing earth shattering there really, and in fact, it's how the Moderators have always acted. It just seems that every once in a while a member who gets a warning/suspension/ban wants to debate it like it's a legal process in a court of law. It's not. It's the Ladder Commanders Forum and they set the tone, everyone else follows that lead or leaves. If the Moderator is being abusive with that authority it is up to the folks they report to deal with it, or not, as they deem appropriate.

Good Gaming;

Paul
