Celtic Heroes

First of all i'd like to make it clear that i didn't get ban for breaking the rules. That was communities excuse to ban me because i told him nothing but truth and only stated facts. Me swearing? Is breaking the rules? Please 99.9% of the forums you have ppl swearing and kids spamming and scamming. But you just had to ban me for the telling the truth? THE WHOLE TRUTH! If you can't take the facts then come clean and address it. Not hide behind ppl like elim and fercious pigman (i still find that cute btw)

NEW MODERATORS
WHOA! First of all congrats voldemort! How on earth you become a moderator? lool you should spend more time playing the game that the forum is about than locking topics. As for you piggy man, locking infanite topics that merely asks questions? You two are being too serious about this new 'forum rule'. It seems all your doing is viewing topics that dont even involved you or anything then just simply locking them. RELAX FOR A BIT! Community isn't going to fry you for not locking 1000 posts. You two are the only forum moderators that are locking stuff. Oh and please i don't appreciate my text being violeted and edited by your filth. So keep your hands off my post. Thank u very much as i am trying to not 'apperntly swear'

FYI community i didn't sign up and agree to you at all. Infact you never existed at the time i signed up. Exactly who are you? The so-called 'friendly neighbour' who hires two goons to lock all topics and make outragous rules? Real friendly. pffft
The old community (the lady before u) said her job was to only back up information on admin and if anyone asks with anything involving the games physics etc. BUT WHOA all of a sudden your now the new OTM person who runs the whole forums! I agreed to admin locking my posts and banning. Not you.

And if you had the brains to release new forum rules you do it on the announcment section where no can post and everytime somone goes on index they can see theres a new thread posted '13th Feb 2013'. Not something thats going to be spammed by users browsing through general discussion.

Well i'm glad to be back. Thank you for not permanently banning lol, one thing we can agree on.
Have a nice day.

Great sam. Now that your being outspoken ur going to be ban again.

I bet somewere deep inside the terms and conditions they said something about *agreeing with forum rules* but these arnt rules these are dictative tendencys from which users have to deal with on top of everything going on in game, if u really want it so strict. Start running a background check on new users. it may have the same affect. Without all the locking and moderators



Cheers

Hi Samkhan8000, I'd like to address a few of the issues you raise here.

Firstly, the moderators have every right to edit any post or topic they deem to be in breach of the rules. They have been appointed to help improve the forums, make them a more friendly and welcoming place. They should be treated with the same level of respect as myself or admin. Because of the work we have been doing on Expansion 4 we have been unable to fully moderate the forums, which is why I asked Voldemort and pigman if they could help out in this respect, and they kindly agreed.

Regarding signing up, I was referring to the fact that when you sign up to the forums you agree to follow the forum rules. These rules can be updated at any time, and we ask that users follow these rules. I understand that the previous 'Community' had a slightly different role to me. However, part of my job description is to run and manage the forums. This includes writing the forum rules, moderating it, and generally trying to make sure the forums are friendly. You can think of admin as running the actual Celtic Heroes game, whilst the mangement of the forum is what I do.

If your going to update the rules then you announce on the announcement section. And you are yet to clear most if not all points that have ravaged through the 'Admin or Community' confusion. You came out of nowhere and then start giving out rules... how would you expect people to reply to that? You got my reaction. It was WHO ARE YOU?! But now it makes sense. If your gonna add yourself to Forum Manager at least announce that too.

As far as the forum moderators go, my opinion of your rule is that they limit too much. Freedomofspeech is what everyone keeps shouting. You are taking away people's right, yes we know your trying to make the forum a more appropriate and public friendly, but you of all ppl should know most there will always be trolls who bend rules like these. Tell me where are you getting with having pigman and voldemort locking countless threads? it just strives ppl to make more threads about the rules that are apprntly 'undetable' as of yet.

i think admins live in states cuz only Canada has been declared country of freedom speech

My other issue was 'reason why i was ban' is helping a topic's situation rather than just locking it. I said that if your gonna lock the topic that has certain negativity towards one member, then at least help the situation before locking it. Your a GENIOUS, you know how much hatred there is in game??? and yet the forums is supposely seen as just a 'Let it slide' or 'i'm community and all i have to do is lock topics'. Do you in any way know how much EXACTLY, that doesn't help the situation? infact you've put matters onto ur hand making the ingame even more hateful as to not discuss our opinions of one other (IN WHATEVER WAY.) It's as i said before u banned me, ppl should be allowed address in any form in their own world's topic. That's how you get the better picture of ppl and the best part of it is you can judge The worst part is trying to have SHADOWKRAR speak in a manner that he cant handle hahahaha. But if a topic is not open to all viewers then i say ppl can speak however they want. It's not a special meeting with the Queen or anything -.- That's why when admin created the forums he made points such as:
-Feedback and suggestions are all welcome (Speak your mind and not our your backside)
-Address any issue with a valid point
... and a few others that have been outruled now by you.

hatred in world lugh seems to be growing quickly

The post in Announcements containing the Forum Rules was updated with the new rules. I thought that such an edit would be visible to other forum members. However it is clear that this is not the case, and so I apologise for not noticing this. In future any further forum rule changes will be posted in the Announcements section.

When I started in this job I became a forum administrator, and was placed in charge of the forums. I, perhaps naively, thought that people would understand that as a forum administrator I have the same rights as admin here in the forum. This includes locking topics, banning users, composing new rules etc. In hindsight I should have posted something introducing myself, my role here on the forums etc., and I will be doing this shortly in the Introduce Yourself forum.

I don't have an issue with people expressing opinions or having arguments with one another. These things happen on a forum, and I encourage such discussions. What I do have an issue with, and what we do not tolerate, is people being abusive towards one other and making personal insults. You can disagree with someone's point of view without resorting to insulting them. Over the past few weeks I've noticed that most 'arguments' here on the forums have become nothing more than people spewing insults back and forth. This is something we do not want, and is part of the reason why we introduced the new rules.

I imagine things were very different back when the forum was first created. However, as both the game and forum grows we have to take steps to ensure that it grows in a healthy and productive manner. New rules and new moderators are part of this process. I realise that this means things will be very different to how they were, but in the long term I think it will be better for everyone.

i say even if there is insults in an arguement you don't lock. But if it's a case where there is no arguement and it's just an insulting brawl. Then you can lock. That's just my suggestion.
