Honestly folks, we have been bending over backwards to maintain an Ultima knowledge base and forums for guess who? All if you. Yes we do have rules. If you choose to be make use of these forums that's great. You will still be expected to follow our forum rules which are designed with the community in mind.
I certainly don't want to see any of you go, but please understand, you don't get to see all that we see. You may find your thread removed an think I that we are picking on you, when in fact there might be a dozen threads moved with yours being only one of them. The job of a moderator is a thankless one. I can however assure you that there is no egos in play here and we have policies and procedures in place for players with conflicts of interet with respective mods. Mods have a strict procedure to go by and every action is recorded and everyone is accountable for their actions.
That being said, discussing moderator actions is one of our rules, and yes this thread will be locked. I am thankful for every user we have, but all must adhere to the standards defined in our RoC.
