ouraging the behavior that is obviously not constructive in that thread. 
exactly what direction?  who deleted it if not you? It's common courtesy to explain WHY a post is deleted and my post had no derogatory remarks and did not reflect negatively in any way towards any individual that had made any comments in that thread - I simply pointed out what the "Leagues" thread specifies on the heading what it is for ......

Lady jezebel, I am sure you are aware that I am not the only moderators, they are many moderators, some of them work in the background. They are French moderators, German and Russian moderators, moderators from other platform are given the same power here. The are also Administrators from other platforms. All these people can have same privileges. I might be a moderator on Stormfall: Age of war, but when I go to other games forums, the same powers are still there, although I am adviced to not use them.

Our forum is the most active of all Platforms, so it attract many people. 

By the way moderators can overrule each others decision, and that of the CM, although moderators have less privileges and power, I can restore post deleted by other moderators, and so can they. The power is the same. 

You could have also deleted your post, which I will still see. ( recently I saw two post saying the same thing by two different people, my guise was the first was an alt( which deleted the post), so I reported them, the first was not a main).

you would have had to have deleted it in order to restore it


complaints about MY post that had no offensive references to any one person or league but simply stated that the Leagues thread is used to intimidate our foes, brag about our leagues and recruit?



Lady Jezebel. as I have explained I have posted that message in that post after I got complaints, that the post was degenerating. After reading it through I decided not to let the post continue in that direction. 

You apparently decided to further contribute to the degeneration of that thread, and someone deleted it. Probably because U stated clearly not to continue in that direction.Latter on I got back here saw your complaint, restored your post and placed those yellow words, and state that you shouldn't continue encouraging the behavior that is obviously not constructive in that thread.

Personally Jezebel, I didn't think you contribution was needed, and whether or not posts were deleted or not is most likely your fault. Oracle was just trying to keep a rare "Leagues" thread from descending into chaos.

BTW I did not complain to any mods about any posts, but others apparently did

As per your request ORACLE in the pm you sent me after you restored my post 


you need to actually consider what you are deleting before doing so - you are not the new forum RULE MAKER  to decide what you think is suitable - you are power tripping see how far this gets you


your judgement of other people is already flawed so you are not able to maintain a neutral perspective on the forums

"3.15 Create posts discussing forum moderation decisions, such as banning, closing forum threads, deleting forum posts / threads, etc."


You are posting. I.e. creating a post. Different from creating a thread (minor detail), but it's there in the rules. 


im not creating a post, im replying to one.

Just a comparison

A very important thread


Impressive number of views, per replies. 

Check these recruiting threads.


In less that a short time , those thread generated, half of the the views generated by the important, and pinned thread.

Now check these thread. 

Numbers tells a lot. 119 replies, but less than a thousand views.  

As always you are full of sh*t, sky was perfectly on the ball with his debunk of this foolishness.


Btw, most threads in leagues sub forum are closed, wonder why is to blame for that .... "special boy"

How about you all make up, and let the forums get back to normal. Or is this obsession with moderation of a GAME forum too much to get over for some?

Personally sick of the handful of players destroying OUR forums just because they feel the need to troll mods. There is plenty of other interesting action happening on the server that could be discussed. Just my opinion.

I am surprised you have your own opinion .... did you ask permission?
Weird you were the last player I though would up up elbow deep in those moderators ar... ah well you get the picture :)
They pay good or do you have to pay?

you two dont understand....


you cant go around making up rules, editing peoples posts, closing threads just on  your own whim!


thats why you two should have never been made moderator!


if there is no rule about posting someones coords... you cant just decide its a rule and edit my post. 



what if you decide there is a rule that IronApex cant post on thursdays and you just go around and delete everything i post on thursdays.   and according to you guys, im not even allowed to discuss. 


I got this thread reopened by oberon after you closed it because you were basing it on some unknown rule.

 

Thats why the two of you are the WORST POSSIBLE players to be chosen as moderators.   i realize we arent supposed to talk about decisions that youve made as a moderator, but when your credibility as moderator is called into question, i dont think there is any other option but to openly discuss why.

I am totally agree. This is no where in the rules.. Screenshots have been posted in the forum for 3 years and just suddenly now they are not allowed to contain ingame locations..








Should this actually be a rule... the rules need to be updated to make it extremely clear that is the case.. however.. I feel it is more of a taking the rules FAR past their intention and actually infringing upon the rights of the players to post information.




Ingame location is common knowledge and not personal at all.

Sorry Sky, Brunson has spoken and laid down the law - you must now bow down to his new rules (that isn't actually anywhere in the forum rulebook) which seems to be applied at random, against the former policy that stood for nearly 3 years.  Brunson has uttered this new standard and it has been set forth against everything that was allowed previously.  


And by the way, there is a really good chance that if someone else Brunson happens to like does this disallowed action, there will most likely be no issue with it as everyone in the forums saw when reading the thread in the tavern where he did just that.  (here's the link: https://plarium.com/forum/en/stormfall-age-of-war/tavern/39306_enough-----2/)

If you dare discuss his actions as a moderator, be prepared for a ban, as that is strictly prohibited.


Enjoy the "fair" moderation, from one of the forums "fairest" moderators, Sir Brunsonthomas!

second edit, screenshot edited, Removed in game location( another reason for edit)

Those are not meant for you but for the forum admins and other mods

So if I am reading the second edit.. you can't put ss's in here with ingame locations?
Correct. You should obliterate or otherwise eliminate locations from any screenshot.
what rule number is that?
That is the expectation of privacy and not revealing any personal information on the Forums without express consent.
and what rule number is that?
