A Discussion of Veiled Insults and Paranoia

For example, I find this thread disingenuous because I see you, Nalates, as one of the primary users of the veiled insults you're railing against. I believe I agree with you on many of the issues (mostly in the realm of "acceptable" content in Uru) but when you go around responding to criticism with...

Cyan releases a new Age for MOULa!

Shorah! After months of planning, I'm finally able to reveal what I've been working on for the past several months. Cyan Worlds is finally ready to release a fan Age into MOULa and I'm pleased to announce that it's one of mine! It's a small Age Cyan commissioned me to do to show what Cyan wants to s...

Re: Ending the Nonsense

Whereas with Uru I see it as a vocal-but-silenced majority (of those who care to post).

Re: Ending the Nonsense

One other point in addition to Nalates' (since, if it's not clear, her method of fact-finding will find some posters there are not as charitable towards Cyan as I am) is to consider that many members have a long history with Cyan and don't like the way the community has been managed (or not). While ...

Re: Ending the Nonsense

The wrong way to tackle this issue: Tweek and Ddefreyne demoted for their criticism of veralun's moderation.

Re: Ending the Nonsense

I have seen some general guidelines, but none of them seem to address the problem. The discussions here are too vague to be of any real use in most situations (and also no one cares what a handful of fans on a game forum think should be the "proper" guidelines for moderation, but that's moving off t...

Re: Ending the Nonsense

Personally, I find the simplest actions to be the best. But let's look at this. Because some people commit liable (I assume you mean libel - to spread a statement to unjustly damage someone's reputation) does not mean the target does not deserve a reprimand. In this case, I see dismissal as the only...

Re: Ending the Nonsense

That's how I approach it - how would I behave in real life around family, friends and perhaps in the Cyan World offices, for a specific scenario, personally standing in front of Rand, Mark and RAWA? I would tell them that one of their moderators is endangering their company, that they would have fe...

Re: Ending the Nonsense

I was using examples to correct Nalates' assumptions about my perspective. These are examples of one of the issues. Unless you want me to just spout random nonsense with nothing to back it up.

Re: Ending the Nonsense

The rule: Moderators only moderate forums in the language they themselves can show proficiency in (note not necessarily one language or the "native" language). I asked for opinion, yes. But don't make too much daylight between facts and opinion. Opinions that are worthwhile don't ignore facts (see t...
