"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.

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.

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?

#1.. the first post is pinned. Thus it is always on the first page and will thus get more views. Flawed argument.

#2. League threads are much more active than Tavern threads as a whole. Flawed argument.

#3. This thread is the second most viewed thread in the Tavern subthreads. Second only to a post made in July of 2016 which has around 1100 views in 10 months.. or around 110 views on average per month.. but this thread has almost 1000 views in 3 weeks.. This is one of the most active threads that this forum has ever seen.

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?

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.

I always imagined your castle to be full, What a disappointment. 

Can you please explain how each of stewarts screenshots that showed where castles are located in game broke these rules:

. b. is rude or offensive in nature, including but not limited to: personal attacks, name-calling, cursing/foul language, cyber-bullying, trolling.

c. insultingly refers to other characters, players, or groups of people, be they in-game or external.

Funny guy ... you admitted having alts on several occasions.

What rule number is that?

Since you are most likely metally ill I do not wish to communicate with you in personal tells but prefere to do it out in the open.
Unlike you I dont have anything to hide.
As for blocking comms with moderators ... uhm nope just you and I do not regard you as a moderator.
Remember that scene from euro trip, it reminds me of you :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXeqAmSXmZY

Lord Marcel Stokvis Since you have obstructed communication with me, the isn't any possible way of doing these but in the forum. I have given you the maximum amount of time to remedy the situation, but you have refused to listen.

I am giving you a 24 hrs ban, for violation of rule 3.4

''3.14. Obstruct communication with moderators. This includes blocking private messages from any moderator.''

You can however remedy the situation by sending me a PM, and unblocking me In which case I will lift the ban, or another Moderator will.

These rule was put in place to make sure that, any form of communication between moderators, Administrators and Community Managers are carried out  in private, and doesn't breach the Privacy of the parties involved, Obstructing these privacy is in breach of your agreement the initial agreement you have agreed to. Lack of privacy between also  limit the reliability and integrity of computer-based information, and other aspects of information shared, and communicated between moderators and you. It also make  data encryption on the part of Plarium almost impossible, thus breaching your Rights to Privacy. 

The ban will be in effect from 12 Hrs UCT, Monday to 12 hrs UCT Tuesday and will be extended should the situation remain the same on Wednesday UCT 12 hrs to a year Ban.  

 Should you wish to appeal, Please use these information in your communication with Lord Oberon

OK Oracle, It seems that you really dont understand so i will make no slurs against you in this post, Nothing but learning info.

You mostly always break the seige on you with infantry! correct?

So the units seiging your castle need to defend infantry?

Look at these 2 pics to see the better def against inf.

http://prnt.sc/f5f6wv

http://prnt.sc/f5f783

That is no excuse at all. weather pikes have a good defense against infantry or not is off topic. DV is defending with offense, and that should worry a moderator like me.

Do you really expect sieging him to make a difference? All I see is several people of significantly higher level bullying to get their way. Good luck with that submission hold.

Do you really expect promoting an utter and total nOOb to moderator makes you more believable?
I know reading is hard but if you read our posts before commenting on how hard and unfair life is for poor Oracle you knew it was in fact "your moderator" that picked the fight on these boards :)

All I see is the same names over and over again. Do not forget every one of us was a nOOb at one time. What he was before he became a Moderator, I do not know. Who he antagonized or bothered I do not know. I am not promoting him or demoting him. I have no control over who is chosen as a Moderator. All I have asked is for everyone to give him a fair chance. If he fails then it is his fault, not certain people simply looking for shortcomings causing him to lose interest in trying to help those with even less experience than he. Also, some example you are setting to encourage people to play and grow.

Why would we encourage the Town Idiot Moderator to be teaching people how to play the game. He will teach them WRONG... It takes twice as long to unteach players a wrong habit, then to teach them a correct habit.

HiI would have long embarrassed him if he was alone. He is just hiding behind the KT, He has not done anything, He has killed less than 10 of my units. But the KT didn't buy into his obsession with me. Only one did some damage during the BM. He just send some of his friends to fight his battles, while he himself hides behind a facade of the KT. 

I have managed to let them waste enough money on me, + 20 FB's that have all killed nothing. I wanted to have fun with them during the BM, but I remembered that KT is not fighting me, DV is. 

Besides their beacons where empty, by my calculations they hardly had 25 mil during the BM. Even the corner beacons where empty.  

These is what I was going to say in KT TS. DV I am calling you out, for the second time I say get out of the KT and fight as an equal. 

For 7 days I say let's battle, I will fight you, probably even show you how noobs play.

Get out of the KT, and make a league and fight me. If you can't I can arrange a league for you it onlycost 2000 sapphire. 

A true Dutch will accept my challenge. Last time I said change your name to Marcel and I will fight you, but you haven't done so. These time I say make a league, a 1 man league and let's fight. Just you and me. A battle, a challenge between two men. 

Stop hiding behind Dave, stop sending Stewart to fight your battles, come out and fight me. Sans KT

LOL... i'm sure DV could take you on 1v1 using only his infantry...

*and edit*

Seems your league is down to 2 members now.. maybe u should move your alt elsewhere and you can have your own 1 person training league....

So you can arrange a league for him??? Using one of your alts???
