Quote:Nope, simply implying that you need to keep up with moderation in a multi-user environment - when in doubt, take action. Unfortunately the OP seems to have neglected any form of rational thought, and decided to come running to the forum before making any sort of appeal.Originally Posted by Ultimo_
Which is what I was saying. The moderators don't know the intent of the player, so they shouldn't assume that the intentions are bad.
Just as you shouldn't assume that I don't know how moderation works, if indeed, that's what you're implying with your condescending comment.
Methinks he's more concerned with attracting attention with the name than he is any censorship. -

Then they shouldn't assume they're ill intentions any more than good ones, or none at all.

Quote:I'm sorry, you seem to be under the impression Malta operate in the real world, and that the OP called himself Malta Extremist rather than Extremist Insurgent.Originally Posted by xoxman
Ok, one, the malta group IS a terrorist organization. *facepalm* Two, the OP never encouraged terrorism.

It's a bit weird isn't it? The devs have implemented Nazi fascist super soldiers into the game, who even have references to the bad guys of WW2, i.e the mention of Mussolini in Requiem's bio. Yet, if the player makes a character that has ties to modern day extremism, suddenly, we offend people!

Quote:None of those groups have names associated with terrorist organisations, nor do they have any names within their groups that encourage terrorist imagery linked with the real world.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
Good point. As well, we have the Malta group, Scrapyarders, Dockworkers....

Quote:On the other hand there are quite a few groups which don't simply defend obesity and those who are over weight, but actively preach about how everyone should be like it, etc. Can't say I've seen very many militant pro-homos groups. Plus, on a hugely controversial note I can already see derailing the thread, being overweight is typically seen as a problem that can be overcome far easier than one's orientation.Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
Ah well, at least when bigots insult and abuse homosexuals, there are plenty of right thinking people jumping to their defense and shouting down the bigots.
Shame almost nobody ever thinks to do that for us larger than average folks. -

Besides, if you have run a forum before then you'll know why moderation decisions can't be discussed in public - it leads to martyrs declaring themselves as wronged, posting one sided snippets of conservation. -

Would there be Global name conflicts? I thought they were Global, meaning, across every server (EU and US) -- You would see conflicts in the MA if there were any... wouldn't we? Isn't MA global?

Tho' rather than develop a sudden lapse in integrity and pretend I'm morally RAEGED by Positron, it's because I'm off to the army in a couple of months and figured it'd be a bit pointless to focus on MMOs for any real significant period of time until everything's done and dusted, etc, etc. So, yus, I'm joining the massive dozen or so whose loss shall see our servers go limp with undeath and decay, and allowing my account to expire. Again. If the developers hadn't stripped me of content and tortured me with the Mission Architect, I would have had stuff to give away. But they did, so I don't. Soz.
Never felt excessively close to the community at large, despite it being a little more controlled than the WoW one, but I've met a lot of people here - including one or two I'm digging my teeth into quite savagely.
I'll try not to step on a landmine, but with the rampant PVP nerfs flying around I doubt they'd do much more than singe my hitpoints. Toodles y'all. -
Oh, it doesn't exist.
Just a weirdly vague reference to his tendency to make his attached name incredibly obvious. Don't actually know the guy beyond some really creepy book covers in my local Woolies though. -

Poptart .. You seem to be acting deliberately dense in your responses.

Figured I'd speak to you guys on your level. Would be unfair otherwise.

The rest of your post is peculiar. No one - except farmers - want 'UBER L33T ARC 12' or anything like it. I didn't say that and neither did ML, indeed the general consensus on these boards is that farming missions are bad for the game.
[/ QUOTE ]
Congratulations, immediatly after accusing me of acting dense you make a remark that fits 'dense' to a T. If you'd bothered to read the essence of my argument, rather than getting worked up over the title of an imaginary example arc, you'd realise what I was saying: new content is new content. You and Mother dismissing it and claiming it's lazy - simply because it isn't canon - is a ridiculous way of lambasting new story arcs. That's the only complaint you two have brought up against the system.
Again, if the only difference in a story arc that matters to you is who writes it, then that says more about your standards than it does the developers. I mentioned nothing about farming.
Constantly banging on about canon doesn't change the fundamental argument. Just shows your record player's broken.

I can switch away from my act any time (not that I would: seeing Londoner wet his little panties is hilarious), but you're going to struggle to break away from the genuine tract of ignorance you've been clinging to. -

Tough. Mother's argument is still petty - the demand is for new content, gets it, yet starts whinging because it isn't developer made.
That's the only distinction that people are getting hooked on, and it's hilariously weak. Or would UBER L33T ARC 12 really be different simply because War Witch put her name on it, instead of @W4R W1TCH? Oh, and the developers have stated well written arcs can make their way into the canon. So bang goes that side of the coin.
/edit - Hell, actually, I'd damn well put money on the argument going from "they're not canon" to "they're just the same old things" if the MA arcs had been published by developers. Nor Cal wouldn't be able to win, they really wouldn't.

Opinions can still be lame.
You demand new content, get it, yet dismiss the bloody stuff because it isn't canon. It's like a hungry man whinging the bread had some ketchup on it.
