Ok, just to start this off, I as a moderator am choosing to inform you of why we do some things the way we do. This does not mean however that I am opening up the forum or any other for you to go and discuss moderator actions. This will be in this thread and this thread only!!!
Now, as to some concerns some of you have about how harsh we are being, well, you have to understand something I date back to long before LONG before the acclaimed "tamer wars" When our beloved scarlet thief was moderator (yes I am that old) and I have seen this place at its absolute best, and at its worst. We are trying to breathe new life into the Baja forums while trying to stamp out some of the behavior that got it "axed" in the first place. Yes, here lately we are being harsh and "dictatorshipish" as some have pointed out, but we don't want to see this place become the receptacle for the dregs of Baja. We want EVERYONE to feel welcome to post and be here and enjoy.
Right now we are trying a few new things, trying to sort out what works and what wont. I chose to put up a screen shot thread after a few complaints about clicking a thread that didn't indicate pictures and some poor souls having lousy load times. I chose to keep all the screen shots located in one thread that way when people wanted to look at them they could at there leisure not by indirect headers that didn't show "pics" were involved. Yeah, even I admit its not fair to the majority of us in the 21st century with DSL and Cable that the few with dial up dictated the need for a screen shot thread but there it is. It might or might not be around much longer, only time will tell.
As for the PVP thread, it is still in the infancy, while we are trying to police the PVP crowd and get them to treat each other with a modicum of respect here on the boards. In the recent past, the pvp threads have gotten to be out of control flame fests accusing this person and that person if every sorts of evil which goes against the roc. So it was moved to a thread that won’t be policed as much, and you can feel free to shout until your heart is content as long as you remain in the ROC. You are all adults (or near to being one) and understand simple rules such as the ROC. If you all can police yourself and remember to show respect at all times then eventually the PVP thread will be dropped and you can go back to new pvp threads as many as you like AS LONG AS you choose to stay with in the ROC.
Our rules are not hard to follow, but now and then a few bad apples make it hard for the rest of us to enjoy the boards.
Now, to the one thing I have been asked about the most. “Why are PVP screen shots locked, while Trammel event screen shots left alone” … Well the answer is simple, they are submitted as NEWS ITEMS. There is a difference between a Reporter posting an article to a regular poster filling up a post with 10+ screen shots with no words no descriptions no anything, we have a screen shot thread for a reason. Use it.
Now I have explained more then enough, if you have more questions Oriana and I will answer you the best we can. Maybe we can even get Orvago in on this.
