We have in the past brought punishments to players IG for callous forum behaviour - one instance that comes to mind involves someone using an IP re-router and making a bunch of different forum names to harass people on the forums and such. Was quite some time ago, but I do remember it. We've always reserved this right, it's only now stamped to your forehead, as it were.

I have to say though, forum activity is down 5000% since these new rules came into effect.

This is only a rough estimate though.

I'm bored and experiencing phantom limb syndrome. I keep looking down where Idiots should be. And then I just don't click anything...

I like how Achaea, Imperian, and Aetolia all have their Rants thread/forum still open...

And we weren't the problem?

We're the responsible ones. Why is it such a big crime to do a proactive effect to try and dampen negative feedback loops?

Can we have a 'why x skill is fine/broken' thread or will you guys close that? I don't want The Man to get on our backs



I think the problem is that doing it by deleting Idiots is about the worst way you can do that.

Because reality isn't all positive feedback...

Rage/Owned still exist everywhere else. Sadfaces.

We could go to their forums and post our complaints and gripes!

I suggested that before.

You know, when I was shrugging at how mild and common sense the new rules are, I forgot that we have a mod on a power trip.

We have almost more non-Lusternians reading the forums than Lusternians, prime-time on a Saturday night.

These forums turned from the funny fraternity party into a D&D-session. Lame.

Not too much of a loss.

I'll wear my toga as a cape and put on my wizard hat .

Negative feedback loops. Please

It was people letting off steam. No more, no less.

It's silly to remove the entire subforum on account of a few people being trollish/existing to "play the forums not the game" or whatever nonsense you're peddling. Punish people who get out of line, punish people who troll excessively, expand the moderation team and smack down people who violate the rules. You don't just prune out an entire outlet for a community and blame it on "negative feedback loops". You ban the people who can't play at least moderately nice.

Typical overreaction.

Quit playing the forums, Visaeris.

Crap, I forgot /sarcasm.

I think everyone is over-reacting. I'm certainly not going to start over-moderating now. Talk about the game (mostly), don't be a jerk, follow the rules, and the forums will continue to function like they have been. In a week, people will have forgotten this thread.

...I lol'd.
