A Plea for Moderation

[jorb]

theTrav, sabinati, Jackard, Potjeh, niltrias, burgingham, Onionfighter, TeckXKnight and Kaios, the ten horsemen of the altpocalypse, have been upgraded to moderators, and have their names displayed in a nice shade of green. The type of moderating I expect to see is moderating for increased readability, as opposed to censorship. If anyone wishes to lodge a complaint with the mods' excercise of power, please send me or loftar a PM.

A lot of bad posts lately, you know how it is.

Please try not to delete this thread again in the future, mods.

Thank you.

I wanna know who did it.

Might be a nice reminder to have for the first page

The official forum language is English. Please post in English. Other languages are allowed in the Dwarves and Thieves subforum, so that people can recruit others that speak their desired language.

1. Read Before Posting
Read the stickies, read the wiki, read the titles of threads in the first page or two of the subforum to see if there is already an answer to your question, or if your idea has already been suggested
Don't forget about the search function! Threads that ask a question that has been answered in the wiki or another recent thread, or threads with commonly suggested ideas like "add bridges" will be moderated.

2. Title Your Threads Properly
Condense the main idea of your post into one phrase or sentence and use that for the title. Poorly named threads will be moderated.

3. Server Issues
All posts regarding server issues (such as lag or downtime) should be posted in this thread.

4. Inappropriate Content
No excessive swearing, posting malicious links or disturbing images. That includes NSFW images.
Don't be a blatantly stupid/unfunny troll, derail otherwise interesting threads with your trolling, or troll/stir up drama on the forums with an alt.
Don't accuse others of being trolls when they are simply disagreeing with you.
No hotlinking allowed - use a proper image host.
Hate speech is considered trolling.

5. Spam
Please refrain from offtopic chatting in important threads like the server status thread.
Put some effort into your posting! We would like to see some actual discussion not empty "+1" posts like this or much worse like that
The forum is not your blog! Threads not even remotely related to the game may be moderated!
Stop requesting character wipes or map resets.
Don't go advertise your trades in every Apples for Oranges topic, or advertise your village in every Dwarves & Thieves topic.
Please avoid making grab bag threads with multiple unrelated suggestions. Give each idea its own thread so posters can discuss its merits, so that ideas aren't overshadowed by more popular ideas, and so that they might be found later using the search tool.

6. Sass
Any concerns regarding a moderated post or thread should be taken to the moderation discussion. Do not derail threads with posts discussing moderator actions.
Do not abuse the report function.

If you feel a post breaks one of these rules, please use the Report button instead of replying to it in the thread.

Warnings may be issued if your thread is renamed, merged or moved to hel. Repeat offenders will be banned for 1-7 days at the moderator's discretion. Accounts used for ban evasion will be subject to permabans if discovered.

I feel like Ive missed some juicy drama...

Juicy probably isn't the right word considering the things we've seen

Last few pages had gotten... bad. I know where it left off last night. Don't want to imagine what has gone on in the last 12 to warrant removing the whole thread.
