How hard is it to respect one another? If people are calling each other out.. the channels are there to provide a service to people who are looking for teams, events etc (this is hard to do when drama is there attacking people).. I mean if one wants to curse, talk about porn, be "Adult" etc then they're plenty of alternatives.
Just note that they're a number of other channels, SG channels, Private channels that you could join to do this thing or Vent, Team Speak, etc.
But from a JU perspective the channel has its rules posted here:
(Also its in the MOTD of the channel so there is no confusion)

JFA has there rules posted here: (even though I was under the impression that it wasn't a family channel)

If someone got silenced for not following the rules then there really isn't much excuse its listed here on the forums and in the MoTD. Really the rule is to simply RESPECT one another.. how hard is that? I mean isn't that how Adults are supposed to do anyways? What ever took place should have been kept out of channel.

You set Rules, I understand, you all want to control the masses, you want "Order Within Chaos", but when none are "Playing The Game", why is the downtime of what people do considered wrong?

What to do on downtime? I dunno.. play the game? If you have issue with someone it should be taken to tells, or in another area, but not in channel. Its counter productive to people who are not in downtime and actually playing. They're plenty of channels on justice were people can talk the way they want currently. Like Heretics for example. Which I believe we are both apart of. I could be wrong. I know of other channels that do this too but I can't post them here.. but they ARE alternatives already.

From the chat logs that were taken from last night it seems that there was someone
(not allowed to give names per forum rules) that was attacking another person, and then others got involved. This does
NOT seem very
ADULT to me.. it in actuality sounds pretty childesh, is against the channel rules and I believe harassing someone in general is against the EULA if I remember correctly.
Here is an example of what took place last night
EXAMPLE:
Why call out someone in channel that you know has you on global ignore?
(just one of the senerios that took place) What purpose does that serve? Other than having a desperate need for attention? Everyone see's them attacking that person in channel EXCEPT the person being attacked? Is this the
ADULT thing you're talking about? Again just sounds pretty childesh to me. I still have no idea what purpose that served..
If you take issue or were silenced and want to talk more about it then feel free to PM me. If you were silenced in JFA I am sure any mod there wouldn't mine talking to you in PM's either.
Note* there is a thread a few rows down that talks about what to do when harrassed. If we are all adults here then that shouldn't happen.

I dunno I mean you joined these channels because they have a healthy active player base in them right? The main rule enforced is to respect one another. Its really not that hard to do. I don't believe ANY global channel is responsible for killing the game. Again you have alternatives.
Just to clarify I am not trying to flame anyone here, but if you want to start up a third channel then good luck with that. I am not trying to stop you from doing so, but just trying to understand the Adult stuff that you speak is all, since a lot of the adult stuff in the chat logs were not very adult at all and simply more or less childesh acts. Once again I am merely talking from a JU perspective.
In any event I am sure/positive that a simple tell or PM to a mod would have stopped this type of thing. But seems like a few people wanted drama. I wasn't online at the time, but if anyone has issue with how something was handled feel free to PM me about it.
Anyone that takes issue with anything I have said here feel free to PM me on these forums.

p.s. Please don't take this as a sneer against the idea for a 3rd channel. That's not my intentions in this post. I simply wanted to straighten out the JFA part.

Mermie he was merely lumping both in the same catagory since both have the same rule about keeping things in tells and to respect one another, while keeping drama out of channel. I understand what he meant I don't think it was literal. But you are correct JFA is not advertised as a Family Channel.
(I mentioned that above before reading your response)
