Forum matters and piracy

[Kapitanleutnant]

No, it's fact: SubSim has never and will never allow the discussion and advocation of piracy.

Which is the best pirate, Blackbeard or Edward Low? Low is my personal fave alright/. I wish i was a pirate just like him piracy is so cool pls keep all the pirate chat in this thread

You're getting dangerously close to trolling here. Be careful.

The Management

Over management and opinions rolled into one, I agree with Kapitanleutnant.

I'm not looking to start a fight with you, but how is the fact that discussion of any particular topic is not permitted opinion? That was my point in the above.

The rules are stated over and over again. If posters decline to read the rules and then break them, do what you must. I feel like I walk into a kindergarten class when I read this board, kids standing facing the corner, the rules written on the blackboard, the teacher front and center preaching the guidelines.

I think its clear where the admins stand and what the rules of the board, no need to rehash it over and over.

While I completely agree with you in that the environment is just plain silly and demeaning to guys like you who understand the rules (believe me that it is not my intention), I continue to have to issue infractions to people over it, with the same tired arguments in return.

You're right that people like you deserve better, and to that end I apologize. I try not to post in a grandiose fashion often, as I am not comfortable with it, so this time I tried, and evidently failed, at a humorous approach. However, your point stands and I must adjust my methods accordingly.

To the drawing board.

Sounds good, I do appreciate your response. Thanks.

Oh man, I so agree. It's like 3rd class here sometimes. If people fail to abide by the rules, make them individually accountable, but Christ, don't start a new thread every other week to tell everyone. It's offensive. Ironically, it's a bit like implementing DRM...

I'd dare go as far as saying it's moderation out of control.

Anyway, looking forward to the new sticky on piracy next week.

Really? Every other week? I suppose you have links to the others, right? This wouldn't be a gross exaggeration or anything, would it?
