Thanks for the welcoming back, yeah I've noticed a lot has changed. Apparently need to get Going Rogue soon. Still relearning some of the old stuff as well.

After 5 years away... decided to come back and see how CoH is doing. Server seems a little more quiet then I remember but I see some familiar people still around. Got my wife to play now as well. Anyway hope to see everyone in game. And if you don't remember me then maybe it's for the best lol.

Or just that we've had more notify moderator requests recently then normal, that doesn't remove the fact that all people here have an equal right to start a thread and have it go how they want and not be insulted.

More on topic I was thinking about the suggestion with choosing in the title area whether you care or not about the thread you are starting being jacked or not, this would further give guidance to the moderators when a thread is mod notified as to whether the OP would want a moderators intervention in that thread. So I further support the idea and somehow noting if a thread is to be not jacked, ok for some thread jacking, or have fun doing whatever.

yeah, maybe a little but ya catch the over all drift

And throwing insults even in a joking fashion at someone who is genuinely concerned and not insulting is in it's own right insulting to that person

RIGHT! As I said in my first post, I really don't think our little corner of this virtual world is really that bad. We get along for the most part, occasionally a trouble maker comes and leaves but we are for the most part calm and I feel united. But if something must be done then for those who would be offended at a thread jack putting something in place where they can let people know not too would be my vote.

If someone feels a clique is leaving them out then let it roll off and find another group of people, we may be one of the smaller servers but we have plenty of people that everyone should be able to find someone they get along with.

And it never hurts to think before you speak right

(otherwise there is a chance for terrible foot in mouthitis and it's a pain to try and fix)

I agree we can manage ok, but what I'm getting from you is that the problem lies with overly sensitive people and nothing to do with people coming out right and attacking others, is that what you are saying? Like I said fun and games is one thing, attacking someone (and for example so I make myself clear, calling names and attacking a person "you &*&%$ you suck you n00b" and the like is what I am referring too) is not so much a problem with the person being attacked in my eyes as much as it is with the person saying that.

I'd suggest making a speical, carefully modded sub-section for the over-sensitive ones, and leave the normal people to carry on as before.

Why? I really am just curious as to what is so hard about watching what is said a little bit, not taking away from the fun and occasional thread-jacking but the attacks mostly, what is so hard about that?

I want to add in my two cents just really quickly. Some people here I know also in game and some I've only talked with on the forums. I don't think I've ever hurt anyone or said anything that has been mean or spiteful but if I have hurt anyone I apologize.

Next, Protector is my home away from home. There is a real sense of community and family and in every family there is tension and tempers that flare up. My personal opinion in this is that there is a lack of communication that takes place and instead of correcting this and a problem just being resolved like civilized people it snowballs into a the flame wars. Of course the easy thing to say (and people could do it) please be mindful of what you say and try and act civilized. If someone says something hurtful inform them of that and ask that they refrain. If they are at all mature they should, but you will have people who lack maturity (and all families do) and that is where tough skin and parents (moderators) have to be called in to moderate in those dire situations that get way out of control.

Also, I must say that in the time that I spend going through the forums we here in protector really do get along and act civilized in my opinion. But to help out the effort of improving ourselves I like the idea of noting the level of chaos in the thread, but this is going to go back to maturity, people HAVE TO be mature enough to respect others for this to work, but honestly it's the only idea I think that stands any chance for making a change.

Last, GG I agree we can't expect to shelter everyone, but we can WATCH our tongue and be considerate of others. Is it really so much to ask, and it's all about Protector because we rock like that

I love Protector and the people I've met in it. We are such a great mix of leader, geeks, nerds, jokers, ect... it would be a shame to lose it.

*Gets off soapbox*


I don't know half of you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

don't forget the stone tanks I know because of a time where the whole team wiped with the exception of the stone tank in granite armor, took a lot of time for the tank to wipe the cyst but got it eventually.

I'm rather pleased with my build and it's abilities right now (w/o MoG) but that being said it would be nice to have a tier 9 power worthy of being a tier 9 power. But I have to agree with the point of view that the cost in our eyes as to what should be acceptable may not be that way in the devs eyes. They may take our ideas and 'run' with them, and not in the right direction. What would be ideal is if they presented us with some things they have been thinking about with MoG and the Regen catagory and asked for some opinions on the ideas and what we thought was a resonable trade off...

*wakes up* Damn just a dream again, oh well....
