I am done seeing the trash talk devolve into this annoying chatter. each group has had their moment to shine at times.
I will say this specifically, a part of the ROC is to show respect at all times .... even tho this Board is an outgrowth of much that happens in the shard, it is seperate and if you cannot at least be respectful of others opinions, playstyles and conduct here, Don't post here.
Because I guarrantee you if you cannot abide the ROC you will not post here.
This goes for JSV, KOC TnA, ORC, UND, UDL, OTF, DTA, ABC, KSS, XYZ and any other abbreviation I can think of the discussions of the last few days, many have sickened me and most of you who I call friends are showin the real reason why so many have left, this forum is not about earning respect, you will show it first and all others will return it.
This forum is so different from other shards that we the mods allow a lot of questionable comments and such to get by because, for lack of any other reason this is a part of siege. How many people if they couldn't post here would still play. I know far too many who have left because of perma bans on the boards and now they are gone in game as well.
It is a privelidge to post here, not a right to be a member of the Siege forums, please remember that

With all due respect, Mo, board PvP has always been allowed here and sometimes it isn't the most respectful. As long as it was directed at the pixels and not the person behind them, it has been allowed. Perhaps you aren't cut out for this mod position? I like ya, but this certainly kinda seems to be the case, as you seem to have very thin skin lately.
I'm all for keeping personal attacks at bay when they are directed to someone in a very personal, rl way, but there are times when PvPer's are gonna have some "not so nice" words against their in game enemies. Please try to keep in mind that board pvp/trash talk isn't directed so much at the person playing the character, but rather at their in game persona. There is a huge difference. Kelmo himself has pointed this out a number of times, not only to me, but here on the forums as well.
By all means, if you want to go off on a power trip, then have at it, but as you said.. those who have been perma banned, typically quit playing. Is that your goal? Think about it, because it kinda seems that way when you toss around such threats.
