Title: Rules & Information about the moderation policy !
Post by: mousEtopher on September 20, 2017, 10:54:11 AM
This section of the forum will enforce stricter moderation practices (like the other forums on the internet use!) so everyone can come here and feel safe to talk about anything without getting flamed or derailed with a bunch of off-topic weirdness!

Terms and conditions of the Moderated Section of War2 Forum:


* It's important to understand that this section is intended primarily to foster respectful discussion on any subject in an environment protected from the usual lawlessness of the other forum sections & of war2 in general. As such the primary role of our moderators is to protect users from flagrant, contentless flaming/trolling/provocations/abuse, much moreso than it is to somehow protect them from any possible manifestation of "obscene" content, and any punitive measures taken should reflect that role & be common sense extensions thereof.


By posting in this section of the forum you agree to abide by these rules. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for failing to abide by them!

Good luck everyone, I anticipate this becoming the most popular board on the forum in due time!

Yes, it got removed not long after Equinox decided to make his grandmother dying  troll posts on it from what I remember. I don't know if that post was a reason to erase the whole sub forum altogether though. Since we wanted to replicate the original occult forum at the time for the most part, and the moderated general discussion was used on there and had some good threads.

Also, doesn't labeling banned people from this section of the forums as criminals and making "Shame" sticky threads about them breach the general rules section of this thread? Wouldn't a simple "People who are banned for future reference" do?

I don't think it's a serious forum. I think it's just for fun

oh yeahhhhh, now that I remember! haha

yes, no need to take this forum ultra seriously! "Criminal Record" is just some lighthearted humor. but regardless of the nitpicking over the bannable offenses there's nothing to prevent people from having serious quality discussions here, it's just that war2 players seem to struggle a lot with being respectful
