I think it's easy to tell what he wrote actually. He's telling us about the effects of climate change, and even if it's hard to read, at least he's trying to save the planet. That's why I don't think you should of banned him for that.TeckXKnight wrote:This is becoming more and more of a problem for whatever reason: the language of some users is becoming increasing indecipherable.

Considering the mountain of reports and complaints against this as well, I'm going to ask that you guys at least make an attempt towards legibility.

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Re: A Plea for Moderation
I personally have no problem with childhoodobesity posting because its his style. His posts are perfectly readable, maybe retarded, but still readable and written in engrish.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
I had reported that stupid thread before it even had a single reply in it yesterday and it got to 3 pages before anyone even locked it or whatever. I know at least borka had been on the forum too because he posted right after I did it so why did it take so long to even get rid of it at all?TeckXKnight wrote:This is becoming more and more of a problem for whatever reason: the language of some users is becoming increasing indecipherable.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
I really don't see why that thread was locked, if anything painhurts should be unbanned just so that he can spam shit and flame in that thread for the rest of our entertainment, though I do agree that the OP should be given a warning/ban for posting in a non english language.
Illegibility for me has never been a problem with Childhood, although it is worrying what affect he has had on the haven community, with most of AD now talking like him ingame and some on skype.
I don't think Childhood is really a problem on his own, but since he has taken in Christmas and given him elocution lessons their ranks have increased twofold.
Christmas's posts are becoming pure gibberish, and if this has the domino effect then soon the whole forum will be tnkliag lyk nodoby n0s how 2 wirte.
Mods, you have the power, please stop this before it begins.
But don't go around locking innocent threads, just unban painhurts so that he can defend himself.

Before the most recent one? Im not terribly surprised. Keep it up though, you mods have impressed me with the amount of improvement you've had recently.sabinati wrote:he's been banned at least once for "the forum language is english"Seizure wrote:Thank (insert silly deity here) you guys are finally doing something about that.
Ive got nothing against CO, but that posting style really drags down the whole forum and seems to be almost infectious.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
I'm not "banned" per se, I retired the name and had it perma-banned to remove the urge to use it. As for Troll's asshole thread I was happily playing Eve Online and missed the whole thing.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
Sorry, new job for me and I've been picking up a lot of overtime so I can't get to reports as quickly as before. When things calm down I'll be able to moderate more swiftly. Also, not every mod wants to tackle every report, especially when there's a history to it that they're not familiar with.Kaios wrote:I had reported that stupid thread before it even had a single reply in it yesterday and it got to 3 pages before anyone even locked it or whatever.

Pain is on a self-requested ban. His main account can be unbanned whenever he wants but for now he not-so-secretly wants to be on a different name.Arcanist wrote:But don't go around locking innocent threads, just unban painhurts so that he can defend himself.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
I missed that part. What is there to defend? Troll/Childhoodobesity killed me because he can't read English then instead of apologizing as a true ally would do he decided to make a thread mocking me, JordanColes (Who's sharing of a private skype conversation led to me being killed) much like Troll has no honor and jumped aboard to prove what a lowlife faggot he is. Thankfully I've to a large extent distanced myself from this game and am enjoying Eve Online where I avoid the forums and don;t have to deal with sub-Human shitstains like these.

I think I know who the sub-human shitstain here is.

Re: A Plea for Moderation
But the forum is the most fun part of the game. Isn't it fun to watch how people call each other faggot over killed character?
